“So it’s ok to blow them up anyway?”
well, Yeah sure why not! If they’re going to be decomm’ed anyway then that’s definitely an option to consider. Let them be an artificial reef to provide protection for a diving destination. It might be engineered to create a beach where pretty girls can run and play topless volleyball. People would visit the sunken vessel for decades and decades. I think some people love those ships so much that they choose to have their ashes sealed and put in the hull by divers.
That’s what you meant right?
Just say no to using ships for arty reefs. The steel is a national security resource. We import most of out steel these days from .....china. Thanks to enviro-wackos.
