Abilene Slim SASS 81783 1,706 Posted October 21, 2019 Kaga was found last week, now the Akagi. That leaves Hiryu and Soryu. Hope they go after and find the Hamman which went down with Yorktown. Might not be enough of it to be found tho as it broke in two on the surface and depth charges went off on its way down. https://www.apnews.com/f026d20d928143ddadfc3df0f3d36f77 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sixgun Sheridan 3,262 Posted October 22, 2019 Now that they know where the Japanese ships went down as well as the Yorktown finding the other ships should be relatively easy. Obviously they have a lot more time and resources than Robert Ballard had back in 1998. I read somewhere that they had also found the Mikuma, but the ROV pooped out before they could take a look at it. I wonder if they're going to find any of the planes that went down as well... like Torpedo 8's Devastators? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 1,706 Posted October 23, 2019 Interesting question. I’d be surprised though, given the size of the planes relative to a ship. Plus, ships continued to travel for a distance after being attacked by the TBDs and eventually going down. I hope a recap of their findings is available before too much time passes.

Cat Brules 1,246 Posted October 24, 2019 Wouldn’t it be cool to be on one of those ships that is searching for those sunken warships? Cat Brules Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
