I think it would be interesting if they could find the missing Flight 19 squadron out of Florida

Those would likely be scattered out. I doubt that they would have all run out of fuel at the same time.

I'm amazed that the ship came to rest upright on the sea floor--to continue to sail on for eternity.

It seems like most of the big warships come to rest keel-down. I'm guessing it's because their weights are biased below the waterline, and because they tend to have flatter undersides than, say, sailing vessels.
