Wreck of the Arizona is a WAR grave in U.S. territorial waters on a Navy base.  Kinda different.
View Quote
She has been fairly extensively salvaged by the Navy too.

She is no more of a war grave than any of the other ships sunk and/or damaged in that attack that were raised and either scrapped, scuttled or rebuilt.  BUT on those ships the remains were recovered and given a proper burial too so there is that.

Not to mention the Flying Tigers.  And sinking a Jap sub before the PH attack.

Flying Tigers were after Pearl and if you don't want your sub sunk don't try sneaking into someone eles's harbor while surfaced.

But yeah, we did kinda pick that fight.  Moving the fleet to Pearl in the first place was to irritate Japan.

I saw the traveling artifact display when they were in St. Louis, and we had those fake boarding passes where at the end of the tour we could look to see if we survived. I don't think I have those anymore though.

In 2012 my son and I went through the Titanic Museum in Branson.

The flush rivet was invented in the 1920's and the blind rivet even later.

Construction on the Titanic began in 1909 and she launched in 1911. Do you have any examples of flush-rivets or blind-rivets from this time period?
What's the significance of the hull not being riveted?
Finally, someone asks the important question:

Was anyone a kid in the 80s Nd watch the movie "raising the Titanic"

After that movie I was obsessed with the facts of the ship. It was a jaw dropping moment when that ship came back out of the water in the movie.

It came up in one piece, that was before we found her , and before we knew it broke in half.

I imagine after it was found and documented the movie seemed silly and was largely forgotten.

I guess I do not understand your premise with the Titanic. It could have been Dr. Robert Ballard's wreck, he did not do it. I personally do not want anything off it. Now that civil war gold in lake Michigan?

We were manipulating Japans markets and stopped oil to their island. We knew what was coming too.

Ballard was acting on behalf of the United States as he was on temporary active duty with the Navy during the hunt for Thresher and Scorpion, and using the remainder of the expedition's funds to find Titanic, he couldn't claim the wreck personally.

I don't think that's how this works.  Bodies are mostly liquid; you can't compress a liquid.  The chest cavity might crush in if the lungs don't fill with water first, but the body wouldn't get pulverized or liquefied by pressure.

Your right we are mainly made out of water. Ever smash a ketchup packet?

At 2.5 miles below the surface the pressure is approximately 6000 psi. Our bones are not solid. How much pressure does it take to crush bone?

You understand that when you smash a ketchup packet, you're not compressing the ketchup, right?  The reason it bursts is the contents don't compress and the container gives way.  That's got about nothing to do with the scenario we're talking about.  It's not like putting a corpse on a hydraulic press and hitting it with 6000psi.  The pressure surrounds the corpse, which is pretty much a liquid filled bag.  Fill up a balloon with air and take it 60 feet down; the air compresses and the balloon gets smaller.  Fill it up with water and take it 60 (or 600) feet down.  Same size.

One of the recent aircraft carrier finds, I think it was the Hornet had an oxygen bottle laying on the deck.  It had been crushed... but hadn't ruptured.  Pressure is applied equally everywhere and apparently it had a really good valve on it so it held.

When they were trying to get human remains off the Arizona a few months after the attack as soon as the corpses would break the surface they would pretty much explode without the water pressure holding them together.  They called it off after around 40 because it just wasn't working out very well.  And that is not very deep.

That is a carefully contrived Lie.

Amazing that you can’t see through it.

Maybe sealife and bacteria did eat the bodies, but the flesh wasn’t squashed to a pulp like they suggest.

That’s just stupid.    The laws of physics don’t change on the sea floor.

You guys are probably right. I concede.

I never really gave it much thought. I always tried not to be in that position and the fact if I was it wouldn't matter to me.

I know Dr. Ballard said that there were no bodies there. He thought that because of the pressure and conditions that the bodies rapidly degraded.
