US Navy to sink aircraft carrier |
|
|
May 01, 2006.
The US Navy is having a hard time getting rid of its old ships - and so it is planning to sink more of them.

However, this activity is now considered potentially harmful to the environment if carried out in the old-fashioned way, and too expensive if performed in an environmentally and politically acceptable way. One possible solution for the US Navy is therefore to sink old ships in order for them to serve as an underwater reef and a home for aquatic creatures.
