No word on whether the ghosts fired back.

We should’ve towed it back to Iron Bottom Sound off Guadalcanal.

It looks a bit rusty, but I wonder why they didn’t board, tow, and salvage it?
At the least, it’s quite a bit of scrap metal.

Why can’t the coast guard sink an abandoned vessel? Should we be concerned about this?

This may be a stupid question, but do we know whether or not there are human remains onboard?

Well in all seriousness, I wonder if there are not some WWII-era Japanese soldiers still entrenched on some deserted islands, thinking that we are at war.
Granted, they would be close to 90 years old by now but in tropical climes, they are probably still in reasonably good health. My advice is to stay away from those islands because if they saw some Americans walking around, they would probably be pissed. Especially if they were attired in tourist garb, like Hawaiian shirts, Bermuda shorts and deck shoes.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency studied the problem and decided it is safer to sink the ship and let the fuel evaporate in the open water
Safer than what?

About two hours later, the vessel hadn't sunk and the cutter resumed shelling,
Lt. Veronica Colbath said. This time, the Coast Guard used 50 mm shells.
