Deep Sea Detective USS Meredith
"What sank the USS Meredith"
Underwater parts of Deep Sea Detective serie on History Channel
- June 6, 1944--the destroyer USS Meredith joined the D-Day invasion of Normandy. Her 5-inch guns pounded German coastal batteries as American troops fought their way ashore at Utah Beach.
On the night of June 7, the Meredith moved out into dangerous mine-infested waters to defend the Allied ships against a new threat, fast German torpedo boats. Shortly before 2 a.m., a huge explosion ripped through the destroyer. Did she hit a mine? Sail into the path of a torpedo? Or was the Meredith struck by a top-secret German glide bomb, the world's first guided missile? Teams of deep-water detectives use today's cutting-edge technology to make this wreck "tell its story", along with CGI graphics, expert interviews, archival materials, and dramatic reenactments.
What happened was a secret hidden for more than 60 years.
Deep Sea Detective John Chatterton travels to Normandy to dive the remains of this tragic wreck with the help of French underwater explorer Bertrand Sciboz.
