Shug7272 Posted May 30, 2006 CID Share Posted May 30, 2006 What is it about an old ship sinking that creeps me out. Cool though. Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/13793-high-rez-photos-of-the-sinking-of-an-old-carrier/#findComment-148620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted May 30, 2006 CID Share Posted May 30, 2006 nice find. i like the approach they used to be able to recover the control equipment after the blast. check out the boat with the container strapped to it on deck that releases and floats away when the carrier sinks out from under it.

Stank_Ho Posted May 30, 2006 CID Share Posted May 30, 2006 Sweet pics! Amazing. A ship no one wanted to save so they spend 20mil to sink it. Better now to serve the marine life.
