thanks for the info there...I figured it was just a urban legend that everybody swears too but never happens, there is no way a large vessle like that could be raised and if they did the cost would be out of this world, and for what point? soon as they got it back to land the air would make it rust away even faster, and best to leave it there as a grave, same thing when they found the Bismarck they wanted to raise it too, and its even deeper than Titanic, and then they wanted to talk about raising the Yorktown...granted it would be cool to raise them all but its not been done, and will never be done due to too many factors, best to preserve what artifacts you can and leave the rest alone
