The first scan used low-resolution sonar, so the crew sent the AUV back to get higher-quality images.

“I’m sure of what we’re seeing here. The dimensions that we’re able to derive from this image (are) conclusive,” Kraft said. “It can be none other than Akagi.”

It is amazing at how they can use the latest technology to find these ships/carriers.  I guess it will be left alone due to it's being a grave site for many Japanese sailors/pilots/soldiers.
