Wreck of the U.S.S. Lexington Discovered

Look at that subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it. Oh my god, it even has a watermark.

I like how we clearly remember a name said in passing in a B-rate movie from 30 years ago, but I can't for the life of me remember the name of a person I just met…

What happens to the skeletons/bodies in these wrecks? Do they just get eaten by fish or are there still skeletons down there?

Well it depends, for a decent amount of those guys there probably wasn't much left, bombs and torpedoes tend to do that. The evacuation of the ship took a good hour and a half iirc but I don't know if they bothered to recover bodies or not. There were probably at least a few dozen men trapped in flooded compartments, dead or not that were never recovered. There's nothing left of them, fish and whatever else ate them to nothing including the skeletons within a few weeks. Usually wrecks like this one are declared grave sites so no diving or anything like that although it's not like a human can dive that deep anyways

Battlecruiser, not cruiser. Lexington was the heaviest carrier in the world up until around 1943.

They swim to the shore for revenge

Are you going by standard or deep load? Deep loading is often used for only irregular transits or purposeful raids. Since Lexington was refueled in preparation for a battle from the 25th of April onward, what did you expect? US Navy ship design emphasized armor and range, not necessarily speed. Wouldn't Saratoga displaced more as she incrementally received upgrades during her many, many trips back to Pearl Harbor and Stateside in 1942? If you are only going by standard load, the Akagi displaced "officially" 500 tons more, but with all the creative accounting by all the parties to the London Treaty, who knows what is right or not.

Those are probably the most intact Devastators in the world.

Stop masturbating Jew.

They can't even rust properly
