Kostakos Salvage

The Greek warship "Kastakos" sank off the island of Samos in 1996 after being rammed by a ferry. In January 1997 I was part of the international team of salvors who spent almost eight weeks salvaging the 56 meter vessel from 160 meters of water. This video footage was edited by me from video recorded by one of my co-workers at the time. It shows the vessel being lifted onto a floating barge.

The question is why? The ship is so damaged I cant see why anyone would want to try to salvage. Unless it was for the navigational passage, but still explosives would of done it cheaper.

The vessel had missiles and military intelligence onboard.
