This shipwreck from WWII was recently discovered: https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/news/2022/7/worlds-deepest-shipwreck-found-almost-7-km-beneath-the-waves-710330#:~:text=It is just over a,21%2C222 ft) below the surface. It was sunk in 1944 when a much larger Japanese force threatened the light forces guarding the Leyte invasion fleet. As usual the Japanese had set up a very elaborate plan where they offered their remaining aircraft carriers as bait to lure the bulk of the US fleet away from the landing support vessels - this time their plans worked and the Japanese almost succeeded until the admiral commanding that force inexplicably withdrew.
