Soryu, Hiryu, Kaga, and Akagi are all there somewhere. It maybe why we are here and who we are. We, the US have one there too. A tough time for pilots and sailors from both sides. Freedom ain’t free. RIP

The book “Broken Sword” was long and a bit tedious, but great history on the battle.

“... 18,000 feet of water in the Pacific Ocean ...”

Damn... I guess only ROV submersibles can down to that depth... and then again, maybe not. That’s crushing pressure.

I guess that is the definition of “the abyss”...
