Considering it's in very shallow waters and right next to the coast, would it be feasible to repair the hull and float it again? To scrap it, not to bring it back in line.
Hate to see all this good hardware wasted...
Interesting question, I would have thought It has to be salvaged, one it's carrying munitions and two it will be carrying a lot of sensitive if not secret hardware, not something you want sitting in shallow water and close shore where any Tom, Dick or Ivan can swim out to, plus I cannot see you breaking it up in situ as again it's carrying munitions and will be full of fuel, the leaks were reported earlier as aviation fuel, so you will still have the main ship fuel onboard unless you can debunker it in situ.
