Very interesting...this scrapyard is even bigger than the active air force of most countries.

[@John-jl9de]

Excellent as always, thank you.

[@777ONESIX.]

It doesn't make much sense why they would sink them rather than salvage and scrap them.....especially with there whole new Green policy!

[@rahuldeodeo2720]

What’s wrong with recycling

[@MichaelSteinmetzSUP]

Nothing, it is just surprisingly expensive. In the past, the U.S. Navy has sold decommissioned warships to Gillette (yes, the razor company) for as little as $1. However, the purchasing agreements came with strings attached. Gillette gained the ability to harvest steel, but was required to comply with environmental regulations and arrange for the processing and disposal of all unused materials.

I was on the USS Curts FFG 38 she went to Davey Jones ' locker in Rimpck 18 and didn't realize those FFGs can take some hits.

America should stop dumping in the ocean

[@dougrebertus1992]

They serve a purpose. Artificial reef. Relax.

[@Islam4ever2006]

A steel Navy ship isn't meant to be a reef. Man needs to stop playing god just to benefit their own interests and desires. All it's going to do is harm more sea creatures on its way down.

[@1941392]

You relax Doug

[@hoppercar]

Yeah, let's don't recycle the steel....just come up with all the piss poor reasons you can to sink it, build a reef...and add to ocean pollution

[@quindariusgooch-hc4gn]

someone doesn’t understand how ocean conservation, ship decommissioning, or steel production work. Lot of things to not know about when you try talking about them
