They are at least going to take a shot at recovering this one.  Another was found years ago, but the Navy wouldn't let the guy who discovered it recover it.  I think it's still being fought over.  A couple more found off an island in the Pacific from early in the war, but those just rotting too.  Seems like this one is the best bet to bring the Devastator back from the dead, at least in terms of a static example.  Even then it's going to be a heckuva project

Its amazing what they find out there. Makes me wonder what else awaits discovery.
