Microsoft's Co-Founder Just Discovered a Long-Lost Sunken Ship

CNN reports that Paul Allen, the guy who teamed up with Bill Gates to start Microsoft, just discovered the sunken remains of a WWII Japanese battleship in the ocean near the Philippines. Allen, a WWII fanatic, made the find after eight years of searching with a team of researchers aboard his luxury yacht and exploratory vessel M/Y Octopus. Allen said on Twitter that the sunken ship is the Mushashi, a massive Japanese battleship sunk by American torpedoes in October, 1944, during the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea. He followed shortly with a video of the newly-discovered battleship. "RIP crew of Mushashi," Allen tweeted yesterday. "Appx 1023 lost."
