#1: IJN Akagi, Vids of Midway 80 years on Author: Bungarra, Location: Murchison region, West AustraliaPosted: Tue Sep 19, 2023 7:29 am — The Ballard expeditions latest video shows the identification of the IJN flagship carrier Akagi.
The Akagi was hit with a 1000 pound bomb which ignited the fuel in the main hanger. The raging fires were unstoppable and she was abandoned.
4 torpedos were fired at her in the morning, each from a different IJN destroyer to stop her falling in to enemy hands.
There are some very good vids of the other carnage that befell the antagonists. Well worth a browse.
