Comments on: US Military Ship Sleeps with the Fishes http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2009/05/28/us-military-ship-sleeps-with-the-fishes/ tech, science, news and social issues for geeks Tue, 14 Feb 2012 07:53:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Andrewhttp://www.geeksaresexy.net/2009/05/28/us-military-ship-sleeps-with-the-fishes/#comment-159895 Andrew Fri, 29 May 2009 08:21:00 +0000 http://www.geeksaresexy.net/?p=13733#comment-159895 Why would divers even want to dive to see this 'shipwreck'? Most of the appeal for divers to go see a shipwreck is the story behind the wreck (knowing where the captain stood as he died, maybe even seeing a few skeletons) it's seeing the ship as it was the day it sunk on an actual voyage/mission. It's like why geeks like to see old computer systems - they're real. They had a purpose, and for one reason or another, they broke and were superceded by better systems. It's the story, not the actual physical parts. Why would any geek want to see a computer system built from new parts that just looks and runs like an old one when they could just as easily see the actual old one? Same for shipwrecks for divers. This is pointless. Why would divers even want to dive to see this 'shipwreck'?

Most of the appeal for divers to go see a shipwreck is the story behind the wreck (knowing where the captain stood as he died, maybe even seeing a few skeletons) it’s seeing the ship as it was the day it sunk on an actual voyage/mission.

It’s like why geeks like to see old computer systems – they’re real. They had a purpose, and for one reason or another, they broke and were superceded by better systems. It’s the story, not the actual physical parts.

Worked out for the drug smugglers, because they were getting them cheaper than they could buy boats on the open market. The fact that they were impounding boats and selling them right back to the smugglers was the reason they started sinking them instead, it made no sense.
