Back on boat 1 today and we headed for the Aikoku Maru. Today I was going on a little mission to try and find the Bow section of the ship which was blown in half forward of the bridge superstructure by a 500 pound bomb during operation hailstone.
Following the debris field in 200 meter arcs. There was a lot of HMS Seabed for the dive, I came across lots of small debris on the bottom bot nothing significant. The closest I got was I found one of the anchors and an anchor chain. But my bottom time was drawing close to an end. I am not convinced that 60 odd meters of ship has been completely blown apart. The debris was nowhere near the amount of metal...... The search continues. Everyone else had a great dive.
