It's curious that the article you reference already states that Paul Allen found her in March 2015.

    True ... but wikipedia is about facts and the history expert cited said he'd need a lot more proof.

      No. Wikipedia is about what people consider to be facts. I'm sure the editorial team will be on to it... one day. It can easily be cross-referenced, and without digging in detail it looks to be true.

Actually, it was one of three. The Shinano was completed as the biggest carrier of WW II and sank on its maiden voyage due to faulty (or non-existent) damage control. For those who care about such things, there were a number of carriers converted from battleships/battlecruisers or cruisers used in WW II. Sorry, I'm one of those who care about such things...

  Eh, either way goes, depends if you define the ship-type by what it started as or what it finished as. I would say it was one of two rather than three but whatever floats your boat. (heheheheh)
