While operating in the Sulu Sea, USS Ommaney Bay (CVE-79) was hit and eventually mortally wounded by a twin-engine Japanese suicide plane on Jan. 4, 1945. NHHC’s Underwater Archaeology Branch used a combination of survey information provided by the Sea Scan Survey team and video footage provided by the DPT Scuba dive team, to confirm the identity of Ommaney Bay.
