Would be wonderful, and terrible at the same time. I hope you know what I mean.
Like it was said before, these boats are war graves, no different than a cemetery.There are plenty of submarines converted to museum purposes and that's where you have your archaeological interest. Going into any sunken submarine just isn't right to me, regardless of the nationality. All submariners past and present share a common bond of brotherhood, it's like being part of the worlds largest family. As for your statement about "sunk by other means than flooding", what other means?
