- While surveying the Battle of Midway site, the crew aboard Vulcan Inc.’s Research Vessel (R/V) Petrel discovered the shipwreck of Japanese aircraft carrier IJN Kaga. During this weeks-long expedition, the crew aboard Petrel surveyed more than 500 square nautical miles to examine the expansive site where the Battle of Midway occurred. This is the first time Petrel has surveyed an entire battlefield, leading them to discover the remains of Kaga.The wreckage of Kaga was found 5,400 meters (more than 17,000 feet) below the surface.

As a young boy in 1960, my family had a ranch in "nowhere" California. Across the road from our home lot, a new nursery was put in. We knew nothing about the new land/business owner. A little later we learned a Japanese family had purchased the land to start a ornamental tree nursery. 10 acres of onimental trees. I thought nothing of it until the day their house was finished and they moved in. In typical rural American fashion my family went over to welcome them to the neighborhood of 2 families, (us and them). Upon entering their house I was holding my father's hand. I felt him hesitate . . . I looked up at him to see a face I nearly couldn't recognize . . .
Mr. Kitamura walked over to greet my father with a hand shake . . . and my father responded by extending his hand. I looked around the house and saw pictures of a Japanese submarine with all hands in parade dress on deck. I saw a samurai sword hanging over the mantle with an American flag on the left and a Japanese Rising Sun flag on the right. Resting on the mantle below the samurai sword there was Japanese Captain's cap. I was too young and naive to realize the awkward and precarious situation unfolding before me between these 2 former blood enemies.
I listened to the 2 men talk in labored tones about WWII. My father had been in the US Navy during WWII and had lost numerous friends to Japanese submarine attacks.
Mr. Kitamura was in fact, a Japanese Submarine Captain. The tense moment continued as the 2 of men cautiously quized one another on who they had been during WWII. My father, in a low key voice asked a simple question, "of all places on earth, how did you get here?" Mr Kitamura answered, "the war was over, and there was nothing left . . . no where safe for my family, only America offered my family the chance for us to be safe and together." My father asked one last question, "are you now an American citizen?" Mr Kitamura said, "Yes ! We are all American citizens." With that my father reached out his hand and the 2 former enemies shook hands and my father said, "OK . . . let's leave the Kitamura family to settled in." We said good night and headed back across the road to our house. As we got in and settled my mother asked my father, "how are you?" My father said, "I won't lie, it's hard . . . but, the war is over and they're now Americans . . . it's important for us to treat them as Americans." After that I never heard a disrespectful word out of my father's mouth regarding Mr Kitamura or his family. For years thereafter our 2 families celebrated a number of American Holidays together, inparticular 4th of July.
Looking back after all these years I'm amazed how that 1 brief meeting between my father and Captain Kitamura, influenced me and taught me more about the meaning of truly being an American than in all the civics classes combined.
Awesome story! God bless
@wargent99
Wow . . . dude . . . that's exactly the kinda' mentality that caused the problem in the first place, (Us vs Them)!
Don't you get it ? ? ?
We're Americans !
Not Afro American

We're all just Americans.
Anything less and you are guilty of promoting another useless war for nothing more than some abstract, convoluted political notion of political correctness.
Wake up
@wargent99
I see . . .
What did the Japanese do to Americans who were living in Japan during WWII?
I suggest you look it up . . .
It will make you cry . . .
Americans living in Japan had it far worse.
But again, you conveniently or cleverly miss the point . . . what could have been an utter disaster, was corrected. If you're looking for perfection in humanity or political ideology, you won't find it . . . It doesn't exist. The best we can do is learn from our mistakes and forgive one another so we can build a better future.
Looks to me you need to learn how to forgive yourself.
I can add nothing to that , but I went through school with the children of the 442th RCT and 100th Battalion. Friends for life
Let ask George Takai, actor of Sulu how he feels after being in internment camps. If there were any animosity, he would have left for Japan and we wold have seen a different actor playing Sulu.

I have daydreamed about these ships being found since I was a kid and got interested in WWII. I can’t believe I’m looking at pictures of the wreck of Kaga. Soryu should be somewhere near Kaga and Akagi. Hiryu may be harder to find as she must be some distance away.

May all those who died serving their respective countries rest in peace.
i respect your comment
Amen
I have a problem with the service men who died supporting world domination and brutal genocide. Yes, they are serving their respective countries. However, for the wrong reasons. 400,000 Americans had to die to stop this madness. Read about Pearl Harbor, Nanking China and the Bataan Death March and the way prisoners were tortured and murdered in the Pacific Theater. Move on to the European Theater and the widespread genocide conducted in concentration camps. Justify having specialized Army units (the SS) designed to hunt down and murder innocent civilians. Shall I go on?
@@christopherfranklin1881 "....designed to hunt down and murder innocent civilians. Shall I go on?"
Can you..... Do you think that some, Not all, but some American soldiers did the same in Vietnam??
Or how about our "proxy Wars" with the Arabs with Israel on our side....fighting in the streets of Gaza City??? "Shall I go on?"
OH, Wait...there is more.... How bout Afganistan, Iraq, Fallujah, the sands of Kuwait (granted there .... there were Iraqi soldiers in trenches, Mercy [??])
And why, on your channel do you honor an SS Panzer troop and document what he has done.... granted he might be remorseful.... but an SS Officer?????!!!!
I served with Honor with the USN for Twenty (20) years!! And if I may ..... for Just a moment let me tell a story.
As part of an ASW exercise, I was tasked with "hunting a sub", Simulated granted but doing my job. When I recorded a "kill" on my plot, I shouted out, "YEAH, Got that S.O.B, after six (6) hours!!!" as I high-fived the crew around me. Until a J.O. pulled me aside and said, "Congrats on getting your 1st 'kill', but understand that you Just Killed ... Fathers, Sons, Uncles who Will NOT come back if it was real. Just understand ... They have a Job...YOU have a job.......because once either side goes DOWN.... You best Respect them! Because it is NOT a G. DAMN Football game!!!"
Do I respect Terrorists?? NO. They have no honor to be granted them.
Thank you for letting me answer..... I would like to hear a counter-argument.... a Logical, Honest, "I was there" argument, if not, well........Thank a Veteran next time you see one.....You know who they are, they are the ones with baseball caps, that DON'T represent a B.B. team, but Represent the U.S. Team.
As a US Navy Veteran.... I TOTALLY Agree with your comment............ It is Quite difficult, but Necessray part of 'The Job' that we who serve in the military HAVE to do, to Certain Respects!
They fought for what They thought was "Right".....as we fight for what is "Right", just remember .....It is NOT & Never WILL BE a game.
In a strange way, the rusticles make you feel as if the ship is still bleeding, and alive, even now. Kaga took the worst pounding and most casualities of the 4 Japanese carriers. Flight decks ripped from stern to bow by massive explosions, she refused to give in even after magazine blasts ruptured through the bottom of her keel. How fitting that she would be the first ghost to welcome her nation in remembrance of this horrible battle.
@Richard McCaig My apologies. I only meant that she had to be scuttled by her own destroyers, not ours.
@Richard McCaig Refusal to give in doesn't grant immortality. Least the IJN Kaga and her crew can say they literally gave everything they had. A lot of people can't even lie about that . Whatever flag she flew and whatever her nation's history the Kaga stands as exemplary example of what every salior should aspire to.
Can she be able to get into museum
@@lerbronk One can only hope but considering she's under nearly 15, 000 feet of ocean lifting her is likely out of the question.
strange professional killstreak soviet fridge That’s just not possible...she’s in 18,000 feet of water. There’s no way they could even think about raising her. Yamato is possible yet unlikely due to costs as she is only at about 1200 feet.
Rest in peace to all the sailors, airmen, marines, soldiers, no matter their nationality who fought in the worst conflict the world has ever seen.
Yes it was the worst conflict the world had ever seen. It was started by Japan on Dec. 7, 1941.

Kaga and Akagi are good foxgirls ngl
I was surprised that Kaga was found in one piece. According to records, she went through rounds of nasty explosions and witness said the mid-section of the ship was widely cracked open under the flight deck. BTW, the picture shown at the beginning is a little misleading because it represents Kaga before the major renovation. She was experimentally built with 3 layers of flight decks, but was re-constructed into a modern one flat-top structure before 1935. May she RIP.
For all the history being discovered we all owe a very large debt of gratitude to Mr. Paul Allen
THANK YOU
I've wondered over the years if the Japanese aircraft carriers sunk during the Battle of Midway would ever be found. With the ships located under 18,000 feet of Pacific Ocean, the circle is starting to close on this epic battle.
Otokichi786 now we just have to find the other three witch should be nearby, relatively speaking.
@@jakobming4831 they found Akagi
d fobroy inknow
Not to mention we have that 'Midway' movie coming out Nov 8. Weird timing this all is.
18,000 feet! I find that depth hard to comprehend, no wonder it took so long to find.
Nice to see the Kaga. Her sisters can't be to far away. Rest in Peace.
Akagi not her sister ship tho, both are the only ship on their own class
@@anonymousstout4759 kaga was ment to be a battleship of the Nagato class if I'm not mistaken and Akagi was going to be a Battlecrusier of the Amagi class but her sister amagi her hull got cracked so she was scrapped and akagi was turn Into an aircraft carrier.
The Battle of Midway proved just how much can be accomplished in the span of 5 minutes. 3 carriers knocked out in 300 seconds.
My late father served on submarines during WWII real close to Japan as we were able to obtain the action reports from his boat. Later my Uncle (late) who served in Korea met a Japanese lady in Nagoya and married her and so I now have many Japanese relatives living in Hawaii. I lived in Japan and enjoyed the culture and people very much as did my daughter who accompanied me.
What a discovery. Watching that video, and I can imagine the souls who were lost when she went down were standing at attention, welcoming the first people, by way of ROV, to visit their ship in 77years. Amazing. God bless all who served in WWII, still with us and passed on.
Those casemate guns yelled, "Hey! This is KAGA!" at me.
Such an awesome find.
The music made me cry, and I ain't ashamed of it.
Do you know what the music is?
She was beautiful in life, a battlecruiser saved when she was converted to a carrier. Though made for war, she was unique in her shape as her kind led the way to a new kind of naval warfare, highlighted first by the British against the Italians, then followed up by Pearl Harbor. Then the war in the Pacific became the great carrier war, ushering a new and terrible way to wage war. May those who went down with her rest in peace and may those who fought against her stand with those fallen, made comrades in the aftermath of the folly that is war. May we never again know such terrible destruction such as the fires that consumed the world seventy-five years ago. Rest, Kaga, and know the peace mankind struggles to maintain.
@Scarheart76. Allow me to slighty correct you because Kaga was initially build as Tosa class Battleship not Battlecruiser (that was Akagi).
Yeah kaga was slated to be scrapped along with sister tosa, amgai was damaged in an earthquake and kaga took her place. Akagi was supposed to be an amagi class battle cruiser, kaga a tosa class battleship
To those who don't know how a Tosa class battleship look like its basically a Super-Nagato
So as a kid, I was obsessed with the story of the Titanic, and how Robert Ballard found it. That eventually led to me watching a bunch of documentaries on his explorations of Bismarck, Lusitania, Britannic, etc. I remember watching one of them where he searched for the wrecks of the carriers sunk in Midway. He thought he found Kaga, but it turns out it wasn’t. I’m happy it’s wreck has been found now, so we can at least give some peace about the ship one last time.
We need history
@BC Bob How terribly sad ☹

@@Robby4291 With what's going on in America, You're absolutely right
@@Robby4291 Too late
i will probably go to see the Midway movie coming out, even though it looks like a CGI nightmare. i still like the original movie from the 70s, and of course Tora, Tora, Tora.
I have both Tora Tora Tora and the original Midway and I love both of them
Railroad,Preserver,2000 both are epic. and i have the Remagen bridge movie as well.
And guess what? The west Midway movie sucks. So biased to US and there are some weird logics. Like.. Dauntless or other US planes can over-maneuver the Japanese Zeros. And also when the plane dive bomb, it is too sharp. But weirdly that plane still alive.. What a dumb movie
Japanese Midway battle movie is better than the west Midway battle movie
Tora Tora Tora is one of my favorite war movies. You can just feel the tension building as the story progresses. Captivating.
It was good as most was truthful to the story.
I love it when they find these old ships. They all have history, and people who admired and loved them on both sides. We hear the stories about these ship's battles all the time, but actually seeing them in the aftermath, on the bottom, really puts a face on all of it.
Biggest appreciate to finding her.
RIP for each legends who sank with sailor’s proud.
From Japan.
Now they have Kaga's position they've got a great chance to find the other ships.
i am truly honored to have seen this day
I'm 10 months late seeing this the Kaga is still a beauty even after all these years underwater. I have new respect for the Japanese and German soldiers of WWII After seeing how corrupt officials have brainwashed many Americans into doing terrible things. They where brave young men fighting for the country they loved I wish they where here now to fight for our freedom
Something about a ship sunk during battle tugs at my heart. Doesn't matter which flag it flew. The IJN Kaga attacked Pearl Harbor and it was involved in attacks on various locations in the Pacific including Midway. But it was a grand ship crewed by brave men. It deserves respect as do the men dying aboard her. Detest the government and its leaders, not its people or their ships. The video has a haunting score! Bless Paul Allen for funding this world wide hunt for wrecked ships!
heard they found a sonar contact yesterday that they think is I J N AKAGI if so that is 2 of the 4 carriers found that was lost at Midway
All that's left is the Soryu, Hiryu and the heavy cruiser Mikuma.
Latest report, this is confirmed to be Akagi...Soryu is probably in the area.. I would suspect in the coming wek that will be found
2 of 4 if you're only counting Japanese carriers.... otherwise, 3 out of 5 have been found so far (USS Yorktown was also lost and her wreck has been located).
IJN Hiryu might be more difficult to find she managed to limp away of the battle and she wasnt sunk untill the afternoon that day
They'll be back next year: the ROV suffered some kind of damage that couldn't be fixed on scene. But hopefully, Car Div 2 (Soryu and Hiryu) will be found, along with Mikuma, and the U.S.S. Hamman.
I've been waiting for a very long tine :)
So awesome to see this. I’m hugely interested in the Kaga and Akagi, from reading, building scale models, watching docs, etc. Hard to explain how ungainly and homely they both were, and and the same time beautiful and majestic. Incredible to have found these great warships. 👍
Wow!! 75 years lost! Just to show you how big are oceans are! The wreck looks in remarkable condition! Thank you for the footage! 👍
Amazing to have found the grand ship Kaga. Rest In Peace
We did it Commander!

Whether it's their history our history or anybody's history it always pays to learn about it and from it
Never had I imagined to see her grave in the deep, since my childhood days learning the battles in Pacific so long ago, so dream like today.
Though I can never explain why, I knew the names of all four Japanese carriers used in the Midway operation in the 5th grade. Why, I'll never know. I still cherish every opportunity to see and hear first-hand accounts of those who fought in this battle.
Great video! I love when old wrecks are found! The remnants of a by gone age!
what a find just before the opening of the movie Midway.
I’m a huge history fan & seeing discoveries like this? Is huge. They found the USS Indianapolis awhile ago. We should always keep in mind that finding these ships is an awesome discovery but they are also the final resting place of those lost. We must be show honor & the deepest respect, to our own lost & to others🇺🇸 May God bless & keep all souls lost to war in his eternal care.☮️
Rest in peace to all who served their countries bravely
One phrase I read about this ship, that has stuck in my head forever after - with regard to the hundreds of engineers and mechanics trapped below as they were essentially cooked alive in the giant oven the hangars and engine rooms became - 'What they must have endured is beyond imagination'.
They had no right to win and yet they did and in doing so they changed the course of the war. Even against the greatest odds there is something in the human spirit a magic blend of skill, faith, and valor that can lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory. -Walter Lord on the Battle of Midway
To the men who turned the tide of war in the Battle of Midway and our greatest generation when our nations freedom was at great risk, your heroism and valor will never be forgotten. God bless them all!!!
The Battle of Midway is the most important sea battle in history. If we truly appreciate the sacrifices of the over 300 American boys killed, then we should make it mandatory to have every single high school senior write a paper about one of the 300 plus men that made it possible for them to live in such a great country as America. Those that gave their lives in that battle should NEVER be forgotten.

The music just make it better to watch . Happy sleep , Kaga-san .
My friend's dad was a pilot during WW-2. A German Luftwaffe pilot. He was captured in north Africa and held at a camp in the mid west. He worked outside the camp and became friends with many Americans. After the war he became an American citizen and served in our Air Force. Then he worked for an American Airline as a pilot. He hung out at the Legion and VFW and many of his friends were American veterans of WW-2. He was accepted by his former enemies as a friend and fellow citizen. That is the American way.
The fact that he came to love America and Americans while a prisoner says a lot about this country.
Looks like the whole flight deck was torn away by the current on the way down. 8 inch batteries are still intact. Amazing.
In Kaga's case, most of her flight deck was long gone before the current became a factor. Survivor accounts describe the entire flight and hangar decks completely destroyed from roughly the bridge to almost all the way aft by the time she was scuttled.
@wargent99 Those were a part of Kaga's initial design when the ranges of carrier aircraft were so short that designers felt the carriers themselves might need to be able to fend off surface ships. Obviously those guns served no real purpose by WW2, but the Japanese were hardly the only ones to make that mistake; Lexington and Saratoga also were both designed with 8-inch guns, which were only removed in 1942.
@wargent99 When she was converted to a carrier, it was thought that cruisers would be the biggest threat to carriers not aircraft. Thus she was given the armament equivalent to one, just like the U.S. Saratoga and Lexington.
Wolfeson28 you are right, of the 4 IJN carriers at Midway, Kaga took the worst pounding.
wargent99 The Japanese loved their large naval guns, just take a look at the 18.1" rifles on the Musashi and Yamato.
It’s amazing just how much sea life colonised these sunken wrecks , shows that out of death and destruction , life still flourishes ,,
It's always so strange seeing sunken ships, especially warships. It makes me think of all the work that went into building them. All those men that worked, fought, lived and died on them. All those hours spent scrubbing the decks and all kinds of everyday routines to keep it in good shape, and then the tides of war change and it gets sunk with no ceremony, never to be seen again for almost 80 years.
I hope those on board all ships when they went down are resting peacefully now and that those who survived can finally get some closure as to where their comerades lay
Discovery fo these ships is anazing and so historical. Hopefullys someon will use the viseos of these Japanes aircraft carriers and make a model dispaly of what they llook like on the bottom of the ocean.

Kaga herself is 91 years old, almost 100 if you count the construction time. Built from 1920-1928, commissioned in service in 1928. Im happy to see they found her and sister Akagi
They were not sisters.
Akagi and Kaga were built very different from each other. Most obvious is their island. Akagi's was on her port (left) side, whereas Kaga's island was on her starboard (right) side. Both had different armaments as well. They were each very much one of a kind. That they operated together doesn't make them sister ships.
Wooow, looks like even Kaga’s got rusticals on it to. Really does look like she must’ve been quite an impressive ship.

I have been a military modeler since 1973 and started to read and become fascinated with the Imperial Japanese Navy since 1971 and Tora Tora Tora. The only 2 navies in world history to have fought the only 5 Naval Air Battles in military history. U.S.N. and I.J.N. not even Britannia rules the waves for 300 yrs. Just Love I.J.N. aircraft carriers. Don,t know why? Kaga was not scuttled. Akagi and Hiryu were.

Incredible
As a fan of WW2 I'm really happy to see KAGA you deserve a honorable rest KAGA
Remarkably intact. So many WWII ships were broken apart by violent explosions.
There is a very good chance of the Petrel crew coming across downed U.S. planes from that battle. If they do, I hope they post the videos. If they are as well preserved (even as crashes ) as the ones found with Lexington, they should be able to be identified by which crews flew them.
That would be astounding
If memory serves me, I believe the Japanese carriers still maneuvered for some time before their propulsion was lost to the fires, and then drifted for longer before the burning hulks finally sank (or were scuttled). As a result, I fear the planes lost in the attacks may be located some distance away.
i can't believe how deep she is in the mud, must have hit bottom going very fast.
18,000 feet is a long way to fall.
Wonderful!
Would hope there is a 3D rendering of the whole ship. She looks lovely..so peaceful
