I would rather have useful data come out of the sinking of her than and
amount of money. If it helps in the next generation of ship design, and
makes them safer for the men and women who serve on them money is a
non-issue. I'm sure the asbestos was removed prior to sinking, the military
abides by all OSHA and EPA requirements these days.
cheers,
erik
