WASHINGTON (March 22, 2015) Director of Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) Sam Cox (right), Kate Morrand (middle), Senior Conservator & Laboratory Manager of NHHC's Underwater Archaeology Branch, and Yoshiro Kishida (left), a representative from Saiki, Japan, pose in front of the remains of a World War II F4U Corsair fighter-bomber during a presentation in which NHHC accepted the artifact, March 22. On March 18, 1945, 19 F4U Corsairs flew off USS Intrepid (CV 11) with their targets trained on a naval air base on the northern end of Kyushu. While their mission was successful, two aircraft did not return. This Corsair piece did not surface again for 50 years, when a fisherman caught it in a net.
