I should have said, "until they realized the cost of treating it as a hazardous material."
Either way, it is interesting that they have found this submarine.
That is for sure. I follow these recovery stories closely. I'd love to be there.
I got really bent out of shape when I learned that the stupid French filled a submarine pen with gravel and concrete ... with three U-boats still in them. I still get into a hissy fit when I think of that.
