Raise 70.000 tons of iron from the bottom of the sea itīs not easy .:hmm: also the damage is too extensive for a underwater repair. |
Very true. Remember how long it took for the USN to right the Oklahoma, in shallower water. Much smaller BB.
Granted that ship wasn't considered as critical as a Yamato would have been. I suspect they would have been much more proactive if it was an Iowa class that had been sunk.
I suspect the Japanese would have scrapped her on site.
