I think this is dignified. A second purpose for the ship, wether it be for fish to spawn or divers to enjoy, I'd support this much more than a scrapyards profits. Where did this take place?
Is diving so boring that you have to make artefacts to make it interesting? It feels like the windmill on a miniature golf course. As for creating an artificial reef, yeah it works, but this one is so damn close to the shore I bet there’s plenty of natural reefs. It’s just an extravagant way to make a tourist trap, nothing less.
isn't this a biohazard being sunken under water like this??? what happens to the bio habitat in this water with a big metal object being on the riverbed? This is rediculous.
😳 why can't these people just keep their damned mouths SHUT?! Do they realize it is a Navy ship that is being sunk? Do they have any respect for the people that served on that ship and possibly died serving on it years ago? Makes me sick...
I can see why the sinking of a vessel would be heartbreaking to the people who were a part of its history... But it's important to remember that these ships are starting a whole new life. What was once a tool of war, is now a foundation for creation and life. I think it's incredibly honorable for a ship to spend the rest of its days giving back to the waters she once sailed. It's certainly better than being scrapped or left to rust.
