Sunken warship unveils enigmatic Sport Utility Vehicle
On the sun-drenched wreckage of the USS Yorktown, an intriguing find was made - a vintage SUV that's reminiscent of a '40s throwback. Boaters on an NOAA-led expedition unearthed the vehicle using a robot kitted out with high-tech cameras.
Positioned on the deck, this ship - measuring 246 meters in length - was victim to a Japanese submarine in the mid-'40s, more than 1,500 kilometers northwest of Honolulu. The vehicle resembles a Ford Super Deluxe Woody model, a classic from 1940-1941[1].
Sporting a license plate reading "Ship's Service," the SUV hints at its naval ties. It's quite a rare sight as these Ford Super Deluxe models were used as staff cars within both the navy and the army[2][5]. The discovery of such a vehicle on a sunken ship is uncharted territory[1][5].
