U.S.S. Lexington (CV-2) found!
I wasn’t sure if this had been posted or not, but the wreck of the U.S.S. Lexington (CV-2) was discovered.
https://news.usni.org/2018/03/05/video-billionaire-paul-allen-finds-lost-world-war-ii-carrier-uss-lexington A group of aircraft comprising seven Devastators, three Dauntlesses, and a single Wildcat were also located. The state of preservation is amazing. The paint, insignia and even the fabric control surfaces are intact!

An important find, at an important time, to remind us of what was fought for so dearly.
