Yeah, It would be nice if there were some new data, but from what I've heard Lundgren just rehashes the same old data and concludes with his opinion.

I'd like to see something concrete one way or the other, but I doubt we ever will. It's nearly impossible to prove a negative like the Yamato didn't hit a thing at Samar, but personally, I think that's what happened. On the other hand, I'd be just as happy if someone like Ballard found an 18" dud embedded in the wreck of the Gambier Bay and settled the mattered once and for all.
