Imagine a place where you can visit and pay tribute to men like Mush Morton or Gunter Prien on their final resting place. Or you prefer to go to the middle of the ocean and drop some flowers? How many of you can do that?
Wth, its a question of pure humanity.

Well, it is a catch 22. Not all subs have their exact location known. Nor will they. So, if you pull up one and do the burial on the good green earth everyone else will want the same for their sailor who did not make it back. That is a bill that can not be filled by man power and or monetary power. Not to mention subs that ended in the great northern trench. We just can not work in that high pressure underwater environment. Perhaps if a submarine is happened upon then maybe ask the living relatives what they want but we can not make an all out effort to find the hundreds of uboats and the 50 odd fleet boats on the bottom. In short, a daunting task.
