....All of the above??
Northvale PA -- Yes, "normally" those ships would have been scrapped long, long ago. And many old ships were actually sunk to make more habitat for marine life, rather than cutting the ship up and sending to the melter. I don't know the whole thought process on that, as it seemed to me to be a huge waste of resources. ...But then that's one thing we've gotten good at in this country. However, it's wrong to do this to the final resting place of so many souls. While I, myself, do not hold that it has any effect on the soul or spirit of the departed soldiers, I do strongly understand how these ships stand as monuments for those still living. It's like going in and taking all the headstones and caskets from a cemetery just because you can get a little profit from it. Cemeteries aren't to benefit the dead - they're to benefit the living.
Secondarily, these old sunken ships "should" remain as a testament to our past, paths to avoid in the future, and as living museums for future generations who were not there to experience the horror, that they may be able to see first-hand the horrors of war.
