Livestream from the wreck of the Yorktown

Weather permitting, the Okeanos Explorer underwater ROV will be diving on the wreck of the carrier USS Yorktown, lost during the Battle of Midway. They were supposed to dive on it today, but the seas were a little too rough. So they're going to try again on Saturday, April 19th. If the dive does happen, it will start around 1:00 pm EDT.

Most People that enjoy History know of the Yorktown and her exxploits. Thanks for sharing your thread and the link, Fred.

I'm sure it will be interesting.
