Updated February 15, 2019: added link to Paul Allen website about finding the Hornet.
When I use Firefox, it often shows random links to check out. This morning one of the random links mentioned the wreck of World War II aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-8) had been found: https://www.livescience.com/64773-uss-hornet-shipwreck-found.html and https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/02/13/national/wreck-uss-hornet-first-wwii-airborne-attack-japan-launched-found-south-pacific/#.XGYn_rhMGM8. This was the carrier that participated at the Battle of Midway and also carried the Doolittle Raiders: What Started My Love for History and Reading – Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. Years ago, I owned a model of the ship with 16 B-25 bombers. The ship is over 17,000 feet (5,000 meters) deep. Several YouTube videos are available https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=USS+Hornet.
Here’s the link to the group that found the ship: https://www.paulallen.com/the-hunt-for-the-uss-hornet/. They also found the USS Lexington last year and I will be doing post about it on March 4, 2019, the first anniversary of Lady Lex being found.
Ups Downs Family History 
This must be of comfort to lots of people. And a particularly good day for those doing a family history on any of the deceased here.

It was found by the same group that also found the USS Lexington last year: https://www.paulallen.com/uss-lexington-wreck-located-rv-petrel/ On March 4, I will do a blog post as it’s the anniversary of being found.

You are welcome. I don’t have any known ancestors who were lost in ships that went down that haven’t been found. But expect at some point, I will find somebody who is on a ship that hasn’t been found yet.
In my hometown, there is a World War I memorial marker for the seven locals who died in World War I. One of them was lost on the USS Cyclops, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Cyclops_(AC-4). It may have been briefly found in the 1970s by a diver, but when they went looking for it, they couldn’t find it.
