You probably have heard that Paul Allen has found the ship on the bottom of the Coral Sea. As a war grave rivaling the ARIZONA and INDIANAPOLIS it's a huge national treasure. It's a World War Two battlefield with a jumble of aircraft on the ocean floor nearby. So far they have found 11 aircraft, including many Douglas TBD Devastators. There are no Devastators in any museums although some have been found in very fragile condition. At the depth they are in, recovery would be difficult but considering how good many of them look, I will wager Paul Allen will try. There is a jumble of them with wings folded. They would have fallen off of the ship as it went down but would likely have sunk at a slower rate than the ship. Combat veteran F-4-F Wildcats have also been found.
My understanding is that he has stated he will not enter the ship... But the TBD's are outside.
Torpedo squadron 8 off of USS HORNET was nearly wiped out flying the slow, obsolete TBDs in the Battle of Midway. One of the tactics used early in the war by our carriers was to deploy "scouting squadron" SBD dive bombers as anti torpedo plane patrols against Jap B5N Kate torpedo planes. The SBD's had proven capable of intercepting TBD's in prewar exercises. But thet did not work too well because the Kate was 93 mph faster than the TBD.
DIVE BOMBER with old Errol Flynn, filmed at NAS North Island in Technicolor, has some great film of pre WW-2 USN aircraft including the TBD.
