This July, 2018 photo from video provided by Project Recover shows a gun shows a portion of the coral-encrusted stern of the destroyer USS Abner Read in the waters off Kiska Island, Alaska. The Abner Read hit a mine left by the Japanese after they abandoned Kiska Island in Alaska's Aleutian Islands in 1943, ripping the stern off. But the ship never sank and was refitted and returned to duty. Now, 75 years after the ship's 75-foot stern broke off, it has been located off Kiska by a team of scientists funded by the U.S. government.
