His expedition has discovered the wreck of the Lady Lex, 76 years after she was crippled and had to be scuttled after helping secure a crucial strategic victory at Coral Sea, which in turn set the stage for Midway 4 weeks later. She only survived 5 months after Pearl Harbor, but she really left her mark in those 5 months.

11 aircraft, including TBD-1 Devastators (there are no surviving models of this aircraft) have also been found intact and in remarkable condition for having spent 76 years in the ocean.

Yea pretty cool. I think the Hornet is the last big American carriers from the war whose wreck is yet to be found.

Good to hear that. Relatives of the lost sailors now know where their final resting place is.

They truly are, as they've created the companies which produce/invented the devices which allow us to have this message board.

I don't like it. Too many scavengers will be going after these sunken tombs.

It's 2-3 miles below the surface. I don't think there are many scavengers who can get down there.
