  • Very nice tribute,..being a ex squid myself, I find this way of retirement much more fitting then having her cut up in little pieces. she gave us squids a place to sleep while above the water, now she gives squids a place to live beneath.

  • A fitting tribute to the fallen.

    For the unintiated who've just found this:

    An accident with a flare pistol/gun caused a massive fire below decks which cost over 40 lives of the crew. With lead paint and plastics everywhere most victims suffocated in toxic fumes before burning to unrecognisable corpses.

    So please be resepctfull of comments.

  • Love the American Military music and anthems....just something about them...Cool !

  • We're going to wish we'd saved all that metal and put it to productive use.

  • @collinsworth1982 Late reply, but anyway. Sound waves require a medium to travel through. This is why you don't hear sounds in space. Sounds travel in different pressures of air, depending on the matter around to vibrate through. But being under water, the sound from the bell has even more medium to travel through, making it in fact louder.

  • Where fish families take their families when they are out of school! A nice memorial for a great ship. Thanks for posting!

  • Can the bell really ring like that under water?

  • That's a medley of Eternal Father Strong to Save (aka the Navy Hymns) and Anchor's Away

  • She was sunk as an artificial reef. A great use of an American treasure IMNSHO.

  • I love this song,someone tell me the name of it,I know they played this at jfk's funeral.
