Good morning. I will make a question without any previos knowledge of the matter. With the modern forensic methods of identification, is any country making an attempt to rescue the remains of the sunken vessels and after the ID, buried them properly? If, the answer is negative, I think that the diving, even the investigative diving must be forbiden. I a very personal prefference, I don't like the idea of a wrecked vessel here in the bucket. Cheers. |

I do not think shipwreck war graves are considered "improper" resting places by those who have a horse in the race, although I apologize if I mis-speak for our colleagues who were or are in uniform. |

Most, if not all, countries that lost vessels due to combat in WWI and WWII consider these ships as being still "on duty", and as official military grave sites. The policy, and in some cases, national law, prohibit them from being salvaged or disturbed - the exception being underwater photography. Robert Ballard, who led the underwater discovery and exploration of Titanic and other famous sunken civilian and military ships, has stated that he believes all such wrecks should be left unmolested, in respect for the human remains still on board. |

Moving to the general discussion forum as there's no reason for this to be under "real designs". |
