Unread post by NewApp » Tue Mar 06, 2018 8:11 am

Washington (AFP) - Wreckage from the USS Lexington, a US aircraft carrier which sank during World War II, has been found in the Coral Sea, a search team led by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen announced Monday.

The wreckage was found Sunday by the team's research vessel, the R/V Petrel, some 3,000 meters (two miles) below the surface more than 500 miles (800 kilometers) off the eastern coast of Australia.

The search team released pictures and video of the wreckage of the Lexington, one of the first ever US aircraft carriers, and some of the planes which went down with the ship.

Remarkably preserved aircraft could be seen on the seabed bearing the five-pointed star insignia of the US Army Air Forces on their wings and fuselage.

My grandfather served on this ship and survived. He was a tough man and was deeply scarred by what he witnessed.

He died because of his severe drinking problem.

He was a helluva carpenter and raised tobacco on his farm back in Wilson, NC.

Finding of the Lexington brought back a lot of memories.
