Only 2 more to go. They found Kaga and Now Akagi. They need Soryu and Hiryu to round it out.

Excellent, more episodes of “Drain the Oceans”.

I’m curious to know how far a sinking ship will travel laterally from its location on the surface as it travels down 18,000 feet.

[FlipWilson]

A few years ago they found Yorktown.

The Soryu should be in the same area. The Hiryu could be a lot tougher to find it was sunk the next day.

There’s also Hammann and Mikuma. The former should be pretty easy to locate as it was torpedoed the same time as the Yorktown and went down fast. Mikuma will probably be the hardest to locate of the ships lost at Midway.

IJN Akagi as last seen (artist's conception).

Ping to Army vets with an interest in the WW2 Battle of Midway. Last year this team located the USS Yorktown, a few days ago they located the Japanese carrier Kaga, and now they have located and identified the Akagi. Just 2 more sunken Japanese carriers to go: Soryu and Hiryu

Incredible. I have developed a strong interest in the Pacific Theater

Thanks, Gentlemen. I have something new to read and research.

And special thanks to The Greatest Generation

None of those carriers were sunk. Deemed to heavily damaged to tow back to a safe harbor, they were all scuttled . This is a tribute to the durability of the AC carrier.

Fascinating ..... every WW2 naval movie takes on a different perspective.
