The late Paul Allen's research team announced they found the wreckage of the World War II-era aircraft carrier USS Wasp (CV-7) in the Coral Sea.

The team aboard R/V Petrel found the Wasp wreck nearly 14,000 feet below the sea's surface. Petrel is a research and exploration vessel used by Allen's researchers to locate historically significant shipwrecks and explore underwater ecosystems. Wasp was found in January, but the discovery was not announced until today.
