Beyond the Blue: Papahānaumokuākea - Game-Changer

After 27 years, we get to revisit the shipwreck of the battleship USS Yorktown to discover things never seen before. After the two day exploration, we found for the first-time a mural painted specifically for the ship, a car left on the ship, and the first evidence of aircraft on a battleship at a wreck site. None of these discoveries would have been made possible without the precise maneuvering from our pilots down multiple elevator shafts and the research by our partners at NOAA.

Video produced by GFOE video team member Olivia Andrus-Drennan during the 2025 Beyond the Blue: Papahānaumokuākea expedition.

All footage was gathered aboard NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer with ROV Deep Discoverer and ROV Seirios, which are designed, maintained, and operated by the Global Foundation for Ocean Exploration in partnership with NOAA Ocean Exploration.
