Pat Riot Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 It’s amazing how they find these ships and the effort that they put into these searches. Thanks Slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 It's only a matter of time before they find the other three Japanese carriers. They might want to go check on the Yorktown too while they're at it just to document the rate of decay since she was found in 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 What staggers my imagination is they can find any of these wrecks at all. I'm accustomed to navigation by visual checkpoints or radio signals like VOR, LORAN, NDB, GPS etc. These coordinates were recorded during a running battle without benefit of such things -- which to me is a guestimate at best. And now these guys are using those logs as a starting point 77 years later. Amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
