- The wreck was found under Caladan Oceanic with Parks Stephenson and Victor Vescovo; The wreck was surveyed using the DSSV Limiting Factor and its support vessel DSSV Pressure Drop which also surveyed USS Johnston's wreck a year earlier. Zeco made a special illustration to celebrate the discovery. Parks Stephenson, who had revealed his love for Kancolle, sent Victor Vescovo the illustration and he posed for a picture with the special illustration to commemorate the event. Zeco commented that he hopes Sam isn't lonely and Parks Stephenson later clarified that Sam is in fact not alone and Johnston lies nearby.

- she was the reward of an anniversary quest.
- She got her Kai Ni on the 4th August 2022.
