Found the following interesting link below. Be nice to recover some of these at some point after the US Navy issue is overcome.

It sounds like the PD-1 weren't wanted anymore by the Navy :roll:

Was it Ballard that was looking for the Japanese midget sub several years back? I recall seeing a National Geographic issue about that and Ballard found all kinds of Hellcats, Wildcats, and a few P-40s (if I remember right). But alas, its all within the 12 mile zone so, "NO TOUCHY"

crap

The P-40s are not with the Navy. Or are they now covered by the NHC.

But they are wrecks, they are "garbage" right.

Tim,

12 miles is the US off shore territorial limit - beyond that international maritime law applies. BUT I could be wrong about this and I suppose the Title 14 doesn't really care WHERE the vehicle is.

Hey Rob
Just to nit pick. Seal Team 2 has never been stationed in Hawaii. It's always been in Littlecreek VA. Now I know that Seal Delivery Team 1 was stationed in Hawaii. Easy way to remember these teams and locations is Odd number teams (ST-1, ST-3, etc. etc. ) on the west coast and even number on the east coast. Deployments might be a different story but I seriously doubt that ST-2 would have ever deployed there considering that in '89 their Theater of Operations were were on the other side of the planet in a different climate at that. And west coast Operations are typically west coast guys arena.
As for the aircraft doesn't the NHC realize that more Aircraft would survive the ravages of time and the sea for that matter if they would let independent entities recover them? Instead of them waist away and eventually lost forever?

Yes Frogs do regard Beer as a currency. I have done several favors for Frogs and have been paid in kind with everything from Guiness to Yuengling. One would think they just get paid to go and buy more currency :wink:

Laurent,

Thanks for posting those photos. How "recent" are they? It sure would be neat if that relic was rescued.

Steve :wink:

Those photos were taken in 2003. We can see some parts (including turrets) have already disappereared compared to photos taken around 10 years ago.

Heard they were officially recoevered for another Bolo restoration.
