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.

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 http://vlcn.fyi/Vcee30iLuOo pic.twitter.com/HIvxNUDbsXWreckage of USS Lexington Located in Coral Sea -
“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. http://vlcn.fyi/Tgrc30iM8xK pic.twitter.com/FEWZYD0iEo

WWII ship USS Juneau located by
#RVPetrel on St. Patrick’s Day—unexpected coincidence since she is best known for the Sullivans, all 5 brothers were lost, along with the other 682 sailors.

My twitter timing is lacking... Last week we mentioned Akagi, then suddenly
#RVPetrel came across Kaga. Now, when we're about to feature Kaga, guess who they found...
Anyway, in memoriam CarDiv1, please welcome the unfortunate Kaga to the #TFAdmiral#aircraftcarrier line!
