    Defying all logic, a vehicle has been found parked in the hangar of the USS Yorktown, which was famously sunk in the Pacific by a Japanese submarine during World War II.

    The baffling discovery was made Saturday, April 19, when NOAA Ocean Exploration sent a remotely operated camera inside the massive wreck, about 1,000 miles northwest of Honolulu.

    Yorktown was an 809-foot-long aircraft carrier, known to host about 2,200 personnel, 90 aircraft ... and apparently, one car.

    and

    One possibility: It’s Rear Admiral Frank Fletcher’s flag car, they guessed. (USS Yorktown was his flagship.)

    Closer inspection by the camera revealed flared fenders, hints of a rag top, chrome trim and and a spare tire, researchers said.

    It is suspected the car is a “1940-41 Ford Super Deluxe ‘Woody’ in black,” NOAA Ocean Exploration says.

      After all these years at a depth of 5 km, I doubt it would start if they brought it to the surface.

      Elbows up!

          My dad has the ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

          Only non-witches get due process.
