It was commissioned in 1937 and played a huge role in the United States&#8217; Pacific campaign during World War II before it sank in June 1942.<\/p>\n<p>The Yorktown was first located 25 years ago during a joint U.S. Navy and National Geographic Society expedition led by Robert Ballard, the founder of Ocean Exploration Trust.<\/p>\n<p>The shipwreck has been well-documented since its discovery, but it seems like there is still more to find aboard the famous carrier.<\/p>\n<p>At first glance, the newly found vehicle appears to be a military jeep. It is resting upright and with the researchers noting its flared fenders, chrome trim, rag top and a spare tire on the back door.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wow, isn&#8217;t that something?&#8221; a researcher can be heard on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vt715Tcy6tM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">livestream<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now, that&#8217;s just amazing,&#8221; another one said.<\/p>\n<p>NOAA Ocean Exploration told the Miami Herald that they suspect the vehicle is a 1940-41 Ford Super Deluxe &#8220;Woody&#8221; in black.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yorktown&#8217;s salvage crew worked tirelessly to jettison anti-aircraft guns and aircraft to reduce its list (after the torpedo strike), but did they leave the car, something they could roll off the side?&#8221; NOAA officials added.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-large\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/04\/21\/7a26fff4-692b-46af-b325-6a4ffa603bc2\/thumbnail\/1240x980\/3f75f190e28a679a79bb5ac526c92bdb\/gettyimages-615313942.jpg?v=04a4ba26f526ed8207f014fe1018c4aa#\" alt=\"USS Yorktown Readied for Combat \" height=\"980\" width=\"1240\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">The aircraft carrier USS Yorktown is in dry dock at Pearl Harbor, being readied for the Battle of Midway.
