NautilusLive stream I presume? Saw those when it first came out. Yorktown still looks fine as she was first discovered by Ballard. Photos of Kaga and Akagi are as I pictured. Just absolutely torn up.

I don't think they will go after the other Midway wrecks as that was not their intention one of the members said. (I would like to be wrong)

Unlike quite a few lost around the Dutch East Indies.

100% Agreed.

Aren't the Midway wrecks around 17,000 feet?

Is that safe from scavengers?

It would be too expensive and there is no large enough equipment to salvage the wrecks.

And I think a lot of these wrecks. Their coordinates are kept secret so no billionaires go diving on them and scavenging things like they do to Titanic.
