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. https://www.livescience.com/61938-uss-l ... vered.html 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. |

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