I came across some information in a database that I compared to a recent survey off New Jersey that appears to capture (amongst other potential wreck sites) the bow of the destroyer USS MURPHY. Since I don't dive up that way too often and this wreck appears to have a pretty fascinating history, here are the georectified DGPS coordinates to those that may be interested in diving it.
FWIW - the wreck appears to sit in 252fsw
39° 40.154 N
72° 33.855 W
