History - Deep Sea Detectives D-Day Troops Lost At Sea

On June 7, 1944, the troopship USS Susan B. Anthony transported nearly 3, 000 Army and Navy men on their way to reinforce paratroopers dropped behind enemy lines on D-Day. Suddenly, two explosions hit the Susan B. just off the coast of Bloody Omaha in anarea marked safe for passage. Stephen Ambrose called it the German Army's greatest success of disrupting the landing of American reinforcements. Our Deep Sea Detectives John Chatterton and Richie Kohler dive this wreck 60 years later in hopes of unlocking the answers to what sank the Susan B. Anthony, and the story behind one of the most daring and amazing rescues at sea.
