The photographs captured during the survey will be utilized in the development of three-dimensional models of the sunken ship, as stated by the navy. To further enhance the documentation process, technical dives and remotely operated underwater vehicles may be deployed to acquire additional images and videos, as well as to gather more data on the vessel and any relics linked to the shipwreck. Lieutenant Captain Caio Cezar Pereira Demilio highlighted the significance of this evidence in shedding light on trade routes, naval tactics, technological advancements, and historical events such as military engagements and maritime tragedies.

Similarly, in October, the remains of the USS Stewart, a U.S. Navy destroyer that served under both American and Japanese flags during World War II, were discovered off the Northern California coastline.
