The Wreck of IJN Musashi The Less Famous Super Battleship

If you ask someone to name a Japanese warship, they ll probably answer Yamato in a heartbeat. In fairness, the superbattleships are well known. Yamato, in particular, has multiple anime and movies to point to. This does, however, mean that her sister Musashi is less well known or appreciated. This extends to the wreck. Yamato s wreck is well known, up to and including the odd harebrained scheme to raise some of it. Musashi s wreck, on the other hand, is talked about less. There was the big media event when the wreck was first discovered, but that faded relatively quickly. A shame, because this is every bit as interesting a wreck to look at. And the search to find it was an eight year long odyssey that deserves a measure of respect all its own. Expedition Video: Pictures:
