Re-discussions about sunken debris - as someone else said, a battleship would cetainly sink but after the 1979 Fastnet disaster most of the GRP hulls were found 'floating' around 10 metres below the surface (where compression equalised the density of the material with the water). Since this a/c was largely composites there are probably bits 'floating' at many levels of the ocean.
