  • She was launched on the 20th January 1944.
  • Sunk during the Battle off Samar, 25 October 1944.
  • On 24 June 2022, it was announced the wreck of Samuel B. Roberts was located at a depth of 6,985 meters (22,621 feet), making it the deepest shipwreck ever found. She is upright but heavily damaged, both from the battle and from impact with the sea floor.
  • 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 added on the 23rd April 2018 for the 5th anniversary of the game.
    • she was the reward of an anniversary quest.
  • She got her Kai Ni on the 4th August 2022.

  • On her very first day in service, Samuel B. Roberts struck a whale off the coast of Maine, hence her whale.
  • The signal flags on her hair ribbon stand for her radio call sign, NTIK.
  • Her star hair pin is a Battle Star, awarded for her service at Samar.
  • The medal is a Navy Cross, earned by both her namesake at Guadalcanal (for distracting Japanese gunners so a company of Marines could be evacuated) and her captain at Samar, Robert W. Copeland.
