Apr 19 2025 dive on USS Yorktown CV-5

[WLJ]

Over 10 hours long but  fair bit of that is the descend and ascent
I've only had a chance to skip around a bit but jaw drop at 05:40:00
Heard Jon Parshall's a voice few times.

ROV reaches bottom : 03:07:35
ROV reaches wreck: 03:50:16

This dive takes place on the final resting place of USS Yorktown, a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier that took part in several World War II operations before being sunk by a Japanese submarine following the Battle of Midway. The dive focuses on conducting follow-up investigation of the site, building off an archaeological survey completed in September 2023 as part of the Ala ʻAumoana Kai Uli expedition on Exploration Vessel Nautilus. Results of the dive will help to answer remaining questions about the history of the ship and condition of the wreck site.

Not sure why but when ever I click on the link it wants to start 5 hours in no matter what I do despite including using a link with no time stamp.

Edit: Seen YT do this from time to time. Fixed it by using a timestamp 2 seconds in

Delete the "?t=" and everything after. That will remove the "start at this time" default.

If you right-clicked to share, you may have accidently selected the "Copy video URL at current time" option.

Did that and it still insisted on starting at the same 5 hours something spot even it I end my viewing at some other point. I find it annoying and it's not the normal resume where you left off thing. Could be a browser thing as I see it from time to time.

Shut down your browser to clear cache.

I've found that Chrome likes holding on to things like that.
