Paul Allen finds lost WW2 Cruiser USS Indianapolis

Cool, glad they found it finally. Given the current track record of the USN they'll likely have a few more to find over the next few years.

Billionaire Paul Allen Finds Lost World War II Cruiser USS Indianapolis in the Philippine Sea

I didn't know where else to put this, kinda neat though.

If I was fuck-you rich, I would try to accomplish something like this. Not necessarily Naval, just something that was a big project that saved or gained some history in some way that a normal Joe could never afford to do. It doesn't have to be Alexander or Columbus or Einstein, but just a little something that I could add to the pile of human history.

This is a better product than if he had landed in jail for killing hookers in Thailand or something. This is the good way to spend lots of money, imo.

*Raises ship from 5500 feet of water*
*Ship sees on the deck of the support ship that raised it a tranny, 2 guys kissing each other, and finds out Dukes of Hazard was yanked from TV due to flag*
*Ship slowly sinks back down to 5500 feet of water*
