For the first time in history: on a sunken warship found somewhat incomprehensible (photo)

To spread: American researchers found artifacts of the Second World War at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, including a mysterious car that remained on board the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier. Bild writes more about it. Scientists in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (Noaa) have made a sensational discovery while studying the sunken USS Yorktown aircraft carrier.

Thanks to modern technologies, they have revealed the secret of a ship that lies at a depth of more than 5,000 meters for 83 years. The hangar decks of the legendary aircraft carrier are examined with the help of deep -sea robots during the Beyond the Blue expedition. The greatest surprise for scientists was that they were able to find on the back deck of the ship-the Black Ford Super Deluxe-Woody issue of 1940-1941.

The front panel of a rare vehicle clearly views the inscription "Ship Service_navali", which indicates its service purpose. According to NOAA experts, the car could be used by counter -admiral Frank Jack Fletcher, Captain Elliot Bakmaster, or other high -ranking officials during foreign parking. Currently, the find raises more questions than answers.

It is unclear why the car remained on board before leaving the battle for Midway and was not thrown overboard after damage to the ship to compensate for the roll, as did with guns and aircraft. In addition, the Deep Discoverer robot found a fragments of three bombers and other military aircraft in the feed part of the aircraft carrier. This is a unique historical sensation.

Near the elevator mine, researchers also found a large -scale 12 -meter fresco, which depicts the swimming of the aircraft carrier, is a unique example of the shipwreck. By the way, the USS Yorktown sank in June 1942 during the Battle of Midway after a torpedo attack of the Japanese submarine. The battle was a turning point in the confrontation between the United States and the Imperial Fleet of Japan in the Pacific.
