Video of the USS Yorktown & HIJMS Akagi

Post by Rocket J Squrriel »

NOAA did wreck surveys USS Yorktown & HIJMS Akagi and release video.

Yorktown was found by Bob Ballard in 1998, Akagi & Kaga were found by RV Petrel in 2019 but they couldn't due a video survey.

Westray: That this is some sort of coincidence. Because they don't really believe in coincidences. They've heard of them. They've just never seen one.

...At my IPMS meeting last night, we had one member who had printed out pics of Akagi from the video and was pointing out what was what on a 1/700 model thereof. Amazing way to put the whole thing into perspective.
