[edit] Dive to the wreck or video of it?

I know the sea is very deep where the Musashi sank (4000 deep, but unsure if that's meters or feet). However, did anyone find or explore the wreck? That would be nice info for the article. 195.70.32.136 08:46, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

To my knowledge, the wreck has never been found. It sank in water about 4,300 feet deep (1.3 km). Megapixie 09:22, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
