Those are some amazing pics. 👍 It would've been even cooler if they used some torpedoes, but oh, well.

Nice find, some cool pics... I added a warning to the thread title since the pics are big...

My favourite one:-


"Hey, who let Cheech and Chong on board?"

There something interesting to me about these giant ships going to a watery grave in the seas they prowled gracefully for so many years.

I find that it's the immense power of the ocean that can swallow something as gargantuan as an aircraft carrier as if it was a grain of salt in a pan.

There's further debunking of the myth that a sinking ship will suck down objects in its proximity with it.

That was way cool, though.

Depends on the size i think. You definately couldn't have a swim next to it!

Cool pictures. 👍

With the price of steel what it is though, did they ever consider recycling?!
If...
Buddys car = $200
then...
Aircraft carrier = $WOOHOO!
