Wreckage identified by the U.S. Navy as a Japa­nese torpedo plane was salvaged from the bottom of Pearl Harbor following the surprise attack of Dec. 7, 1941. In 2011 an excavation crew unearthed a skull from the bottom of the harbor, which archaeologists suspected was from a Japa­nese pilot who died in the plane above.
