↑ All were involved at the Battle of Tassafaronga.

Misc

Her wreck was once again found on the 7th of July 2025 by EV Nautilus. As per the survey of the team, 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-inch/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 ended up crushing the portside 1.1-inch AA gun, destroying much of the aft deckhouse, uptake for the forward smokestack, and collapse of the starboard 1.1-inch AA gun at a 45 degree angle. The No.2 turret has its barrels lying against the rear of the No.1 turret. The upper portion of the bow has broken off forward of the 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 the 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.
On the same day she was found, Zeco was also made informed of the rediscovery of the wreck along with the discovery of USS De Haven.
