Okeanos Explorer diving on WWII Japanese DD wreck.
Today’s dive we will be searching for the Japanese Naval Destroyer Hayate that was lost nearly 75 years ago during the Battle of Wake.
Live stream here: http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/okeano.../exstream.html ROV is in the water now. Be aware they're not 100% sure what they're diving on is the Hayate.

Well it's not the Hayate. They're thinking now it's some kind of transport.

I didn't quite get the name but I did catch it was sunk by the Triton.
From Wikipedia. On 24 December1942, the submarine sighted the mast of a ship on the horizon, headed for Wake anchorage. Triton (alerted by ULTRA)[29] closed to 1,000 yards (910 m) and launched two torpedoes. One hit under the stack, the other under the foremast. Amakasu Maru Number 1 was obliterated in a cloud of smoke and steam as she went under. Looks just like it and it was a water tanker. http://www.combinedfleet.com/Amakasu_t.htm

There within 50 meters of the next target, Pretty neat seeing this in real time. Hopefully, it's what they are looking for.
edit: Rats! Turned out to be a big rock. |

1 for 3 isn't too bad. They hit the target on the first one.

Great find Fred.
I'm sure you already know of the expeditions to the carriers lost at the battle of Midway in addition to locating the Japanese submarine I 52 that was ironically located in the Atlantic Ocean in 1700 feet of water and the Israeli Submarine, the Dakar lost in the Mediterranean Sea . http://www.combinedfleet.com/MidwayFind.htm There was also the endeavors of deep sea explorer Robert Ballard who is also known for discovering the wrecks of Titanic and the Bismarck among others . http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/scien...8-ballard_6-4/ |

Looks like they are getting ready to send the ROV back down. I think the bottom is around 4000 ft deep. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Actually. looking at the chart on the left of screen 3, I think it's meters? Last edited by mako88sb; 08-11-16 at 03:49 PM. |

I've been watching the O. E. dives for the last few years, so it wasn't really a "find." I knew they going to dive on a wreck this expedition, I just didn't know it was going to be that dive until just before I posted.
Wanna hear the best part? While I gave the link to the O. E. web site, the live feed is also on YouTube. And since March, I've had a smart-tv with a YouTube app, so I can watch the dives on a 43 inch HD screen.
