More images from an iconic U.S. Navy aircraft carrier that was sunk in the Pacific Ocean during World War II have been released, just days after a crew said they found a military vehicle inside the ship.
NOAA Ocean Exploration sent a remotely-operated camera inside the USS Yorktown on April 19 and 20, the agency said in a news release. The 806-foot-long aircraft carrier, nicknamed the "Fighting Lady," played a huge role in the United States' Pacific campaign during World War II before it was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine during the Battle of Midway in June 1942. The mission was the first to focus on the ship's hanger deck.

The disparity risks inflaming the already heated controversy in California.

Clashes between federal agents and protesters in Los Angeles escalated Sunday as the demonstrations against immigration detention operations stretched into their third day and National Guard troops began arriving in the city under orders from President Trump. Here's a timeline of how the protests unfolded in multiple locations around L.A.
