I wonder if Mr Allen had the Hornet on his “to do” list before he died.
It’s a tomb. I say leave it be.
I didn’t know Paul Allen had passed. He did some great work at finding and preserving WW 2 aircraft. Sorry he didn’t get to fully enjoy the fruit of his labor but he leaves a priceless legacy.
"We had Hornet on our list of WWII warships that we wanted to locate because of its place in history as an aircraft carrier that saw many pivotal moments in naval battles,' said Robert Kraft, director of subsea operations for Vulcan, the organization that operates the Petrel.
Paul Allen was particularly interested in historically significant and capital ships, so this mission and discovery honor his legacy,' Kraft said."
