From the August 9, 2011, MSNBC.
Scuba-diving scientists off the southern coast of Maui, Hawaii, have discovered six wreck sites. One is a carrier-based SB2C-1C Helldiver and another F6F Hellcat fighter.
There are also three amphibious assault vehicles: LVT-4, LVTA-4AS and two with mounted 75 mm howitzers.
The two-week survey was sponsored by the NOAA and University of Hawaii.
The USMC and Army trained before their major Pacific invasions along Maui's southern shore. Accidents happened which claimed these items.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
