Very exciting news. 
Re: For IJN Buffs: THEY FOUND HER!!!!
If she is upright and still in one piece it would be exceptional, we'll see when additional information will surface. Great news anyway.

Indeed! According to further tweets by Paul Allen, pics of the aircraft handling area and the huge hole where No. 1 gun turret was (like Bismarck, the turrets apparently fell out when she capsized), and other areas will be available soon. Now all we have to do is get Ken Marschall to apply his mastery to this project and we're set!

The night after Musashi sank came the last time that battleship fired on battleship and the last time a battleship sank another battleship.
