* Her wreck was once again found in July 7, 2025 by E/V Nautilus. As per the survey of the team, USS Northampton is sitting upright and her stern deck has not imploded, like with USS Astoria. The no.3 turret is trained to starboard, and has plenty of marine growth on it. The damage caused from the two torpedo hits and the subsequent fire caused the aft tripod mast to rip off during the sinking and the rear 5”/25 gun deck to collapse in a “V” shape inwards the structure. Her crane is intact but one of the two catapults has fallen between both catapult pedestals. The starboard catapult is still in place on its pedestal. The entire bridge has collapsed and fallen backwards to port which end up crushing the portside 1.1” AA gun, destroying much of the aft deckhouse, uptake for the forward smokestack, and collapse of the starboard 1.1” AA gun at a 45 degree angle. Turret No.2 has its barrels lying against the rear of the no.1 turret. The upper portion of the bow has broken off forward of no.1 turret and is lying on its side, while the lower portion below the waterline is attached to the hull and sitting upright. The torpedo damage near no.3 turret is extensive. The aft tripod mast lies on its side next to the wreck, along with what appears to be a portion of the aft superstructure, ripped away during the sinking. Near her wreck, one of her propellers and its shaft are detached and lie sticking out of the mud.
