IJN Kaga – Lost Japan's Pearl Harbor Carrier Found Deep In The Pacific – After 77 Years
Five thousand four hundred meters below the Pacific, the wreck of IJN Kaga – one of the six Japanese aircraft carriers that struck Pearl Harbor – has finally revealed the truth about her last hours at the Battle of Midway.
In this video, we trace Kaga’s journey from battleship-conversion experiment to core member of the Kido Butai, unpack how a single design flaw and a five-minute American dive-bomber attack turned victory into catastrophe, and follow the deep-ocean search that located her hull 77 years later.
From Paul Allen’s RV Petrel expedition and high-tech seafloor mapping to the emotional weight of a newly confirmed war grave, this is the hidden story of the Pearl Harbor carrier that became a powerful lesson in the vulnerability of aircraft carriers and the true cost of naval warfare.
