She hasn't been found that I'm aware of. I've heard some divers say it would be the crowning glory of their career to find and dive the wreck. The Musashi is capsized in 4,430 feet of water in the Visayan Sea. However, as happened with the initial search for the Bismarck her exact last position isn't known due to the chaos of battle. Since it's likely she's upside down, there probably isn't much of her to see except her rudder assembly, props and hull. Sounds like a job for Bob Ballard. He found the capsized wreck of the Japanese Kongo Class battleship Kirishima in Ironbottom Sound near Guadalcanal.
