"-And, uh, Paul Allen. I killed Paul Allen with an axe in the face, his body is dissolving in a bathtub in Hell's Kitchen."

Did Bret Easton Ellis already have a grudge against Microsoft in 1980s?

I wish we could find the four CV from Midway. THAT would be fascinating!

I would be more interesting looking into this, probably harder to find near Midway.

Infinitely harder. The water off of Midway is deeper, the charts for that action from the Japanese navy are not accurate, and the accounts are conflicting. Off of Surigao the water is restricted, there are accurate accounts, and depth is no where near as big of a challenge.

A piece of the Kaga has been found. IIRC one can view it on CombinedFleet.com

Apparently the rest of the ship is not within the area searched nearby.

Yeah, I watched a Discovery special on Kaga. They said due to the depth of the water, parts could be scattered for miles before settling on the bottom.

I believe they found the Yorktown, but not the 4 Japanese CVs. The location of the Yorktown was somewhat better known when she sank.

I think my father gave me a book on the search for the lost ships of Midway.
