A research vessel funded by the late Seattle billionaire Paul Allen has discovered the wreckage of the aircraft carrier sunk in the South Pacific during World War II. Allen's Vulcan Inc. announced this week of Feb. 10, 2019, that an autonomous submarine sent by the crew of the research vessel Petrel found the USS Hornet nearly 17,500 feet (5,400 meters) deep near the Solomon Islands. The Hornet was best known for its part in the Doolittle Raid in April 1942, the first air attack on Japan. (Paul G. Allen’s Vulcan Inc. via AP)
