Default Sunken WW2 aircraft carrier 'Lexington' found off Australia

USS Lexington (CV-2), the US navy's second aircraft carrier, sunk 8 May 1942 during the Battle of the Coral Sea, has been found on 4 March 2018 by Microsoft founder Paul Allen's team resting 11,000 feet underwater. The ship is in three pieces and a number of its aircraft, including a F4F Wildcat fighter, SBD Dauntless dive bombers and TBD Devastator torpedo bombers in remarkably pristine condition have been photographed.

In August 2017, Allen's team located and photographed the wreck of the heavy cruiser Indianapolis, sunk by a Japanese submarine in 1945 18,000 feet down in the Philippine Sea.
