It was announced on 2 Mar 2015 that an expedition funded by software executive Paul Allen had located the wreck of Musashi, which was sunk by overwhelming air power during the Battle of Sibuyan Sea during the Leyte campaign in 1944. Allen shared views of the wreck half a mile under the water surface on his Twitter feed.

Half a mile. Far Far more than a diver can desend. Only a sub/rov can desend that deep, and with todays technology they cannot remove much (unless there is a massive payback ) ie Gold Etc.

The amunition on this wreck could become super sensitive with age making any salvage attempt extremely dangerous .
