The NOAA made the recent discoveries that the NOAA Ocean Exploration and its partners made during the” Papahnaumokukea ROV and Mapping expedition” of the USS Yorktown on April 19 and 20 in a Tuesday press release.
This U.S. Navy aircraft carrier participated in a number of World War II procedures before being sunk by a Chinese underwater following the Battle of Midway, according to the NOAA media release. These non-disturbance jumps were the first to examine the boat’s aircraft board, revealing a number of unanticipated discoveries.
