Must be a lot of stuff still underwater....marine sanctuary, off limits to us ordinary people. They have found fighter planes in the past around the Hawaiian islands. There once was a plane that got dug, on land all fully loaded with live bombs. Those privileged persons digging around the bombs, seemed to be going at it very carefully.

I would like to have just one of the perfectly good planes they pushed off of the carriers after the war.
It would look so cool in my field

I looked through some of those photos, you can see an engine still on the plane in one of them.

Some of the wrecks have planes still in the holds awaiting offloading....

Kind of like an underwater museum, I suppose it will stay that way for a long time.
