This week Seth Paridon and Jon Parshall take you guys on an exclusive look at the remarkable footage taken by NOAA during their recent dive on the wreck of the USS Yorktown (CV-5). Seth and Jon tour the wreck and focus in on some of the highlights of the footage, explaining what some of the material is, why it looks like it does, the state of the wreck, and obviously, the history of the ship and her demise during the Battle of Midway. Using archival footage shot on June 4, 1942, as well as archival imagery, the guys give you a then-and-now look at the wreck in this super cool episode. **Special thanks go to Phil Hartmeyer, NOAA, and the crew and staff of OKEANOS for the use of this footage.**
