  1. wrt salvage of Oklahoma. Yes, she did obstruct traffic to a degree where the wreck was. But, rather than tying up a drydock for a few months, and using new material, to patch her up, why not tow the refloated wreck into East Loch, out of the traffic flow, let her settle, build a cofferdam around her, and break her up there? What I would have wanted to do would be to tow the refloated wreck out to sea, and scuttle her, with the service for burial at sea, for the men inside, as was done with Maine after she was raised from Havana harbor. My only concern with that plan was what if one of the temporary patched failed, and she sank in the channel, blocking the entrance to the harbor?
