The website has a few pics pertaining to the article and then shows sea life and other nonsense pictures.The aircraft that were found in a debri field were non existant until these photos were released.Hopefully Allen can recover these for the navy museum and for himself as he has quite a collection of WW2 aircraft.What an AWESOME discovery.

A little WD40 and some Scotchbrite and I bet I could get that thing to shoot again.

Nice find.

Lately Paul Allen has been the force behind finding these lost WWII ships. He’s doing great work.

So, right smack dab in the middle of an article about a guy amazingly rediscovering all these sunken ships, leave it to uber-conceited leftist stooges at National Geographic to toss in this gratuitous swipe at Allen:

(Read about how the billionaire’s 300-foot yacht allegedly damaged protected coral reefs.)

Used to love NG when I was a kid; their photography took me places I’d never be able to go, and their longtime alliance with Jacques Cousteau had me riveted to the TV on many occasions.

Today, however, NG is simply SO shot through with unreadable leftist tripe that no photographic brilliance can make a subscription worthwhile. These images of the Lexington resting on the sea floor would be best taken by NG Leadership as prophetic harbingers of their ultimate doom.

I just learned from a cousin (she is 86) that her husband was a survivor of the USS Lexington. Ed passed a few years ago. From their Facebook posts, it appears that the whole family are Trump supporters - most or all of the daughters, too.
