Explorers Capture Detailed Images of Iconic World War II Shipwrecks from the Battle of Midway

The Ocean Exploration Trust recently captured detailed images of three iconic World War II shipwrecks from the Battle of Midway, including the first up-close photos of a Japanese aircraft carrier since it sank in 1942. The team spent 14 hours surveying the Japanese Imperial Navy’s Akagi and two other aircraft carriers, the Kaga and the Soryu, providing a unique glimpse into the Battle of Midway and the damage inflicted on the ships. The group plans to continue its exploration of the seafloor in the coming months.
