Awl --

Been watching History channel, and the scuttling of big-assed ships.
Also, railroads, NYC Subways, go thru big expense to properly prep/clean old
cars, to dump them in the ocean for coral reefs, etc.

Now, if coral reefs are that important, OK.....

But, if not, why go through all the expense to dump scrap in the ocean, when
these mega-tons of steel could be recycled? With much less expense and
chemical waste ito prep/cleaning, etc.?

Esp. on military ships, where armor can be 15" thick!!
And on railroad cars, where just *one* wheel is 700++ lbs of high quality
alloy steel. Usually 8 wheels (4 wheels per "truck", two trucks per car),
but sometimes more.

Just curious.
