Post cool /k/ related things found underwater.
This was found in bottom of the Gulf of Finland while doing search for potential hazards for a natural gas pipe Nord Stream 2 from Russia to Germany. It's what looks like an A-20 Havoc from WWII.

Here's the Audacious before it sunk.
I'm sure you all know this is the USS Arizona, but the neat thing about this photo is that you can see the shimmering oil that is *still* bubbling up from the ship.

Experts estimate there's still about half a million gallons of bunker oil still down there inside the Arizona's rapidly corroding fuel tanks. The unfortunate part is various groups and agencies have blocked all attempts at safely removing the fuel because the site is classified as a war grave. What's eventually going to happen is an environmental disaster when one or more of the tanks suddenly rupture.

Had to look it up but apparently yes.
USS Yorktown found by Robert Ballard, the guy who found the Titanic. There was a pretty good documentary on it where he actually brought some veterans of the Battle of Midway along for the expedition.
