Video provides first clear views of WWII aircraft carriers lost in the pivotal Battle of Midway

Footage from deep in the Pacific Ocean has given the first detailed look at three World War II aircraft carriers that sank in the pivotal Battle of Midway and could help solve mysteries about the days-long barrage that marked a shift in control of the Pacific theater from Japanese to U.S. forces.

Footage from deep in the Pacific Ocean has given the first detailed look at three World War II aircraft carriers that sank in the pivotal Battle of Midway and could help solve mysteries about the days-long barrage that marked a shift in control of the Pacific theater from Japanese to U.S. forces.

Remote submersibles operating 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) below the surface conducted extensive archeological surveys in September of the Akagi and the Kaga, two of the four Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft carriers destroyed during the June 1942 battle, as well as the U.S.S. Yorktown.

The high-quality video includes the official identification of the Akagi, while also providing new clues about the final hours of the aircraft carriers.

The footage shows how the island, or the tall structure that rose above the Yorktown's wooden deck, was damaged by extremely high heat and how the crew went to great lengths to keep the American ship from sinking.






The carriers will remain in their current location in U.S. protected waters, which should prevent them from being looted or becoming tourist destinations like the Titanic.
Low-background steel is highly valuable and shit countries like China like to go looting shipwrecks for it.

Low-background steel, also known as pre-war steel, is any steel produced prior to the detonation of the first nuclear bombs in the 1940s and 1950s. Typically sourced from ships (either as part of regular scrapping or shipwrecks) and other steel artifacts of this era, it is often used for modern particle detectors because more modern steel is contaminated with traces of nuclear fallout

What's your point? Are you implying some link to present day naval warfare, with the Russians being the enemy and the Kamikazis being the latest in missile technology.

Or is this leftover lukewarm sentiments from two days ago. Either way it has potential for a serious discussion.

Well it's disappointing that something worthwhile isn't being made of this topic. Regardless of your motive, it has great potential.

And so fare it's clean from the usual spammers!

WTF are you rattling on about Duck? Be additive or bugger-off.

Hopefully they manage to keep the exact location hidden or Chinese looters will bring a ship in and break it up.

Here is another nice like with the guy who did Shattered Sword about midway.

Japan's navy was crippled beyond recovery after the loss of 4 carriers at Midway.

No. It was wounded. We traded carrier blows with them throughout 1942 and early 1943. Plus, with Cartwheel we traded aircraft blows with them losing 1,000 aircraft in 1943.

Midway put the on the backfoot. But Operation Cartwheel is what really hammered the hell out if them.
