I read that today. Pretty cool beans.

Pretty impressive! I would have thought that being 18,000 feet down from the surface, that the pressure at that depth would have crushed the hulls to the point of being unrecognizable.

Only any compartments that were sealed would have that problem and I doubt much fell into that category for any time at all. I like that the HD sonar image clearly shows the Akagi deck structure.

Those two ships did a deep dive, I have to say.

Amazing and at that depth.
