Researchers exploring the underwater wreck of an American aircraft carrier have discovered what's left of a wood-panelled Ford automobile from the 1940s in the ship's hanger bay. It's not clear what the vehicle is doing there, but the researchers think it may have been used as a staff car by naval officers during World War II.
The discovery was announced late last month by the Ocean Exploration program of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which coordinated an expedition to the wreck of USS Yorktown in April by experts onboard the research vessel Okeanos Explorer.
