Fleet Admiral Yamamoto was trailing his carriers by several hundred miles from his flagship, the battleship "Yamato", along with five battleships and other warships. We know that one IJN cruiser, the Mogami was sunk at Midway. We know that Admiral Fletcher transferred his flag to a cruiser when Yorktown was abandoned, and later sunk by an I-Boat.
USS Arizona plus 4 other battleships, 13 other warships, 200 aircraft,3400 men killed and much equipment lost.
Unless sunk for target practice (meaning there's no bodies in them); all sunken warships are WAR GRAVES! Diving in a sunken "warship" (battle sunk) is walking the grey line between "pleasure diving" and "grave robbing."
No warships were sunk; some support vessels were sunk by mines.
Counting warships & merchantman, US subs sunk about 1,000 vessels.
