A mysterious military vehicle located three miles underwater aboard the USS Yorktown of the World Era shipwrecked by World War II was not the only shocking discovery made by the investigators over the weekend.
NOAA ocean exploration officials said a part of the battle of Midway, a naval confrontation between the United States and Japan in the Pacific in 1942, was found in an aqueous tomb.
“The previous exploration in Midway investigated the ships involved in the battle; however, the immersion of April 20 results in the extraordinary discovery of the airplanes that fought in Midway underwater, on the real battlefield,” said the Agency Semana.
The remotely operated vehicle that the immersion identified the “confusing remains” or at least three Douglas Sbd Dauntless diving bombers in the stern star neighborhood, according to NOAA.
One of the planes was still full of armed with a bomb united in the liberation cradle. It was probably part of Yorktown’s reserve force in the first morning of the battle, authorities said.
Another aircraft with “B5” written in the fuselage is suspended from being a 4581 Buno that was assigned to the Six Bombing Squadron of the USS company.
The USS Yorktown recovered two business planes that were damaged in an attack against the Japanese Navy Kaga carrier, according to the agency, citing records. The airplanes were transferred to the hangar deck before they caught fire when the underwater missiles by the Japanese hit the ship.
More research is required to confirm whether 6-B-5 was one of the business aircraft in Yorktown.
Multiple plane wings were also captured, probably spare parts, in the vehicle camera remotely operated, with one of the wings that he first saw a 2023 expedition.
A hand -painted mural was also found “A cruise table of the USS Yorktown” within an elevator axis that tracked the numerous trips of the mass ship, the NOAA said.
The work of art was 42 feet-12 feet and was only partial visible in historical photographs focused on other people or themes when Yorktown was still sailing.
The incredible findings combined with the discovery of an old Ford car that was on the ship when it sank.
