Can you explain what that word salad means in plain English?
Doubtful the USN has sufficient interest in a 40-year-old warship that would justify the risk of a Black Sea operation.
Likely true, and I think that in time the Russians may send some of their special purpose submersibles to the site of the sinking for their own reasons to recover X, Y, Z and so on.
It would be most awkward, in a sort of "James Bond Movie comes to real life" way, for a bunch of American (or Turkish, or Greek, or Bulgarian) divers to be on scene as the Russians are down there taking care of business. It would also create a serious
PR mess that the Russians would make the most of.
Better to let the sleeping sea dogs lie.
RIP, sailors of the
Moskva. When the live rounds are being used, that's one of the things that can happen.
@West Coast: Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.
