The hull, which appears to be the aircraft carrier “Kaga”, was found on the seabed at a depth of approximately 5400 meters in the waters around the North Pacific, where the Battle of Midway was in 1953.
An American Foundation research team known for discovering the battleship “Musashi” in 2015 confirmed it by the 18th.
