A quick search on the internet shows 4 Hellcats were lost in Lake Michigan (US Navy source, https://www.history.navy.mil/research/u ... higan.html). To the best of what I could find, only F6F-3 Hellcat BuNo 25910 was retrieved from the bottom.

Really hope this one is recovered soon since its discovery. Its in pretty shallow water (considering the herculean effort it will cost to retrieve the F4F and Devastators in the Pacific). I just hope its not left to languish on the ramp at Pensacola like the Helldiver which I've heard has corroded to a pile of parts now.
