The USS Lexington was found on Sunday located at a depth of about 3 km in the Coral Sea, reports the BBC. The ship was lost in the Battle of the Coral Sea from May 4 to 8, 1942. The discovery of the Lexington, along with 11 of its 35 aircraft, was made by Allen's company Vulcan. Adm Harry Harris, head of the US Pacific Command, praised the discovery, reports the BBC. The Battle of the Coral Sea is considered a key moment in halting Japan's advance in the Pacific during the war.
