    It is not a waste of money or time. First - it is training to undertake salvage jobs. Second - these wrecks are very valuable. Many spend millions looking for such historic things. Third - this shows to the world the capabilities of our forces. Don't forget - we have the only armed-force in the world to have crushed a terrorist organization.

    Nothing wrong, it is required that military establishment to "engage" the listed men and women in war related activities. during "peace" ,They have to go back to the war, when the need has arisen.

    It’s worth Millions of $$, if marketed well to tourists.

    Good idea.

    The relocation of the vessel if well marketed will be a good tourism site. Hats off navy. Better than showing those ships robbed by the ltte.

    One day, they sink one ship in mid sea. Other day they refloat another sunken ship.
