The high-quality video includes the official identification of the Akagi, while also providing new clues about the final hours of the aircraft carriers. “I just hated to see my ship torn up like that.”All three aircraft carriers were found previously, the Yorktown in 1998 and the Japanese ships four years ago. Besides sinking the Akagi, the Kaga and two other Japanese aircraft carriers, U.S. forces shot down more than 250 Japanese airplanes. When ordered to abandon ship, Taylor jumped overboard and tried to swim to a nearby destroyer, U.S.S. “I was really upset because I loved that ship,” Taylor said.
