The Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi, sunk on June 5, 1942 during the Battle of Midway, has been identified by Vulcan Inc. using the research vessel Petrel. This is the second Japanese carrier to be discovered this month by the company - the Kaga was also discovered. The wreck of Akagi was found 5,280 meters (more than 17,000 feet) below the surface of the Central Pacific in the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, Hawaii.The Battle of Midway was a decisive naval battle during World War II that occurred six months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. The crew aboard Petrel has been surveying the area documenting more than 500 square nautical miles.Akagi, as flagship of Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo, was part of the six-carrier fleet that launched the planes that attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, leading to the United States’ formal entry into World War II. Commissioned on March 25, 1927, Akagi was originally designed as a battle cruiser. She was converted into an aircraft carrier under the terms of the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty. Akagi underwent an expensive reconstruction in 1935 that gave her the full-length flight deck configuration that she would enter the Pacific War with.Photo credit: Naval History and Heritage CommentAkagi was fatally attacked on June 4, 1942 during the historic Battle of Midway by American dive bombers, including a significant hit by American pilot Lieutenant Richard Best whose bomb landed at the aft edge of the middle elevator.

National Geographic – The Battle for Midway: The Discovery of the U.S.S. YorktownDirected by Brian Breger and Peter Schnall for National Geographic. 2001. 82 Minutes. ASIN: 0792299914Review by Devin PooreThe Battle for Midway documents the 1998 expedition by National Geographic, headed by Dr. Robert Ballard, to find the aircraft carriers lost during the June 1942 Battle of Midway. The structure of this film is familiar to anyone who has seen other documentaries on shipwreck archeology: scenes of the modern-day expedition are interspersed with historical footage of WWII combat, alternating between the two, until the shipwreck is finally discovered in the last part of the film.The Battle for Midway differs from most other films of this sort in that veterans of the battle come along for the expedition, most notably Bill Surgi, who served on board USS Yorktown during the battle. Two Japanese veterans and a member of the USS Hornet TBF torpedo plane detachment that operated from Midway are also present. There are also several interview segments with Lloyd Childers, a crewman with torpedo squadron VT-3.Key moments in the documentary are when Ballard and crew fail to find the Japanese carrier Kaga. The disappointment weighs heavy in an interview with Ballard when he realizes the carrier won’t be found during the trip, and even though the Japanese veterans are very gracious and say they know Ballard will “find her someday”, their disappointment is obvious and touching.The moment when Yorktown is found still sends a tingle up my spine, and I’ve seen this video dozens of times. For a ship that’s been on the bottom of the ocean for over 50 years at the time of the filming, Yorktown is in remarkable shape. Deeper than any other shipwreck previously found — three miles down — there’s very little marine life to disturb her. Close-up shots of the flight deck, bridge, forward 20mm gun tub, and other areas show the ship much as she appeared when she sank in 1942. When veteran Bill Surgi’s sees his old battle station on the flight deck, looking much like it did the last time he
