You fucked up the url tags. You don't need to put them on actual urls they are for making text and pics into hyperlinks Like This.

Also, super awesome find!

That is absolutely badass. Puts the location finding we do to shame! 8)

No kidding! Apparently the R/V Petrel specializes in looking for WW2 ships and has found or surveyed 12 since 2017 in addition to a bunch of other stuff the crew did on a different ship in 2015.

They found three of the grail ships in the Pacific: LEXINGTON, HORNET and MUSASHI. I'm really hoping they find WASP, the Taffy 3 ships and the Japanese carriers sunk at Midway. I'd like to see SHOKAKU, ZUIKAKU, SHINANO and TAIHO as well.

I would love to see the excitement in that control room when a find like this is discovered.
