Interesting that it is reported to be in fairly decent shape. Wonder if they’ll recover some of the planes for museums.

Would Probably be hard to recover. But if they do manage it; It would be awesome to see how they come out.

Saw this earlier , the photos are awesome. Pretty sure that I saw an AF3 Wildcat in there. On a related topic, Has anyone seen the doc on Amazon Prime about the discovery of the HMS Hood? Also sunk in REALLY deep water.
