Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere on the forum.
I intended to put it up earlier. Incredible images from over 3 miles deep.

I had seen a link earlier on a new forum, but it took me to the wrong page, thanks for posting! I love hearing about these discoveries.

The clarity of these shots is incredible, and how on earth did that plane tug stay like it's being readied for use???

I wondered about the tractor as well. My best guess is that it was still chained down when she sank.

I started a thread on the USS Lexington, saw this one for the Hornet, and now the USS Wasp has been located in the Coral Sea:

This picture popped up on Facebook. It's our girl leaving San Francisco with Doolittle's B-25s on board in 1942.
