that sank in the Battle of Midway are reviving haunting memories for the two surviving U.S. veterans who were aboard one of the doomed ships.
Julian Hodges, one of the last living veterans who served on the Yorktown, and who swam six hours with a dislocated shoulder to a rescue ship, teared up as he watched. "We were able to spend over basically three full days on these sites, including two full days on the seafloor, really methodically and thoroughly documenting the entire wrecks," Daniel Wagner, the chief scientist for Ocean Exploration Trust, told The Associated Press via videoconference from the exploration vessel Nautilus.
One of them, Hodges, is a retired Baptist minister in Johnson City, Tennessee. He joined the Navy the day after Pearl Harbor and worked in the Yorktown's boiler room during the battle. The action"speaks to the dedication of the crew to save their vessel in the last and final moments of that ship's service," he said.
The carriers will remain in their location in U.S.-protected waters, which should prevent them from being looted or becoming tourist destinations like the Titanic.
