The face of an Australian Soldier, printed on a newspaper in May 1916 & buried in the #Somme soil for over 100 years. Amazing. #WW1 #ANZAC. – at Picardie, France

“Lady Lex” went down with 35 planes. So far, #RVPetrel has found 11 of them. Here’s a look at two Douglas TBD-1 Devastators, resting on top of each other, and a close up of a Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat. vlcn.fyi/Tgrc30iM8xK

New image of an undetonated torpedo near the wreckage site. Of the 5 torpedoes USS Phelps launched to scuttle the USS Lexington, we believe this was likely one of the two that were duds. #RVPetrel

We've located the USS Lexington after she sank 76 yrs ago. #RVPetrel found the WWII aircraft carrier & planes more than 3000m (~2mi) below Coral Sea near Australia. We remember her brave crew who helped secure 1st strategic US win in the Pacific Theater vlcn.fyi/Vcee30iLuOo
