Absolutely amazing the quality of the video and the planes look like you could pull them up, dry them out and fly them.

Maybe the water is cold enough to slow the deterioration down. I would've thought it would be nothing left of the planes and the ship just a ball of rust, but there it is.

I think there is some thing about needing oxygen and water temp that helps with preservation.
