Im serious!

Recently the third minisub that went after the Chicago in '42 was found off the Sydney Heads-they're keeping the location a secret after holding a Shinto memorial ceremony over her. The wreck of the HMAS Sydney was also recently discovered off the West Oz coast, sunk by a tricket out, pimp my ride German "merchantman".

We either make 'em off limits or wreck em-I think only a couple are actually in maratime museums.

They also do this in the United States, usually around the states with high tourist populations, like Florida.

Another cool link is http://digitalnavy.com/ It has various ships made from paper or card stock. Check out the "show off your creations" area for some truly mind-blowing Takao, Fuso, and Yamato ships, all made from paper and glue. The Yamato is REALLY well done, and I wouldn't want to know how long it took... I built the free download of the HMS Dreadnaught, and it took me three weeks, and the model is only about 10 inches long! As well, there are various other models from navies both past and present, most are really well done
