From the article: The ship will not be retrieved because the US Navy considers it to be a war grave.
Well, I would have first guessed that the ship wouldn't be retrieved because it is some two miles deep in the Pacific and it was 888 feet long and over 43,000 tons.

First let me make it clear the Lexington should NOT be disturbed.
That said we are AMERICANS and we can do anything we set our minds to! Rather it is 2 miles down or two million miles away.
