I spend a lot of time listening to historical podcasts about World War 2 while I’m working, which has always been an interest of mine. New scholarship about this subject is fascinating, and there are also multiple YouTube channels dedicated to particular events, ships, and people. This video popped up in my feed recently, and it’s catnip for a ship nerd like me: an ROV was sent down to the USS Yorktown, which was sunk during the Battle of Midway, and spent 4+ hours surveying the wreck with a high-def camera, including commentary from several historians. This is the clearest footage I’ve seen yet of any of these ships, and it is incredible.
