U S Navy Destroying And Sinking Its Decommissioned Ships

Practice makes perfect. Looks like a single missile does not do the job. 2 or 3 at a time, mo better

The reasons why people are sinking ships is not because there old and out of use but to make reefs for fish because natural reefs are dying of pollution.

Luis V I bet your staple Sniper you fucking P.O.G you ever hear of a Sea Whiz , Navy is the most powerful of the armed force The Navy Consist of Air Land The Fleet SeaBees Marine Corps Numerous spec war such SWCC EOD UDT Seals, you need watch how you address some of us Sailors and Marine cause you might get that stapler shoved up your ass there Hero

All this because they let Woman go to sea on war ships, it cost to much split the refurbish the accommodations so they sink them. They should have there own separate ship's.

ummmm.....shouldnt we recycle that.....

they could just give me the boats

serving for many years, only to have her sunk intentionally... a sad sight.

should be giving them to the pasific island nations to protect themselves from China's advances in stead of sinking them

Damn, those Perry-class frigates can take a beating.

While I'm sure even the first missile hit likely would've caused crippling damage to multiple systems on the ship and the torps are the real ship killer it seems but the fact the hull itself took so much is pretty impressive.

Is that a Perry Class?

A mistake in time of war you need these

Nice to know we build em good. So they can take hits like that. But still sad to see it have to happen. Ship had Graceful lines to it.

tax dallor's hard at work the can make some of our cash back it it were scraped but sitting the ocean floor we get no return

i saw somebody waving to the camera

This is nothing more than the US government not taking responsibility in recycling the ship. They had no trouble spending our money to build it, but didn't want to follow thru and get rid of it the correct way after its time is up. Calling it an artificial reef is just trying justify it's lack of responsibility in disposing it.

This is so fucking dumb it's fucking sad how much shit every country waste man. You could reuse a lot of the Materials. But no we like to waste shit always.

Awesome video. But someday as a planet we're going to look back and wonder why we ran out of metal and its idiotic things like this. This is a waste of tax dollars

hard to watch...I was part of a pre-com crew on a FFG-7 class. I knew 2 of the men killed on the USS Stark, one of which was also part of our pre-com crew.

Trillions in debt but plenty to waste because we aren't smart enough to build a frame that coral can populate to rebuild a reef or echo system that cost less than a few million dollars of scrap metal.

I do think the millions upon millions of taxpayer money spent to build these ships would be better served if we would try to recover some of the money in recycling to repay our staggering deficits instead if spending who know how much to blow them up .I'm shure someone will say they create coral reefs but I'm shure we can come up with a cheaper solution for that as well #wasted resources#intelegent humans#trillions in debt.
