I live less than fifteen miles from where the first submarine to ever sink a ship was built on Water Street in Mobile, Alabama.
CSA H L Hunlley
An even earlier submarine, American Diver, sank with it's crew and remains out in the bay here somewhere unknown.

The former sea port city has lots of rusting ships, abandoned since the 1980s due to the recession of the Aral Sea, which is now at least 95 miles (150 km) away from the former harbor.How can this be? Algore and thousands of scientists say that's impossible!

Never mind. The “Aral Sea” is a lake.

"Never mind. The “Aral Sea” is a lake." It's a man-made ecological disaster. The Soviets reversed the water of the river that once fed the Aral Sea. I'm reminded of the Salton Sea in California.
Toxic dust blows off the bottoms of the dried seas.

When I lived in the SF Bay area I took my Cub Scout troop on a tour of a midget sub moored in Alameda, CA. We also toured a US sub — a small one. I was a lot younger then, but I still had difficulty climbing up and down the ladder into the heart of the sub. I couldn’t believe how small the bunks were and how tight the quarters. Nobody could stretch out full length.
I had 8 boys in that group — all good friends — yet they got into actual fistfights from being on board the sub for just a short while. It must take a powerfully strong psyche to endure submarine service without going bonkers. Tough duty.

“It’s ours, in the Sacramento River.”
But that’s not a graveyard. Those ships are mothballed, not scrapped or scuttled.
