Thats what they are doing to parts of it!
You may well be shaving with the lower midships of U-534 in the next few months.
:hmm: The article mentions she "will be split into four pieces using a diamond wire cutter". That does not sound like they are tossing anything away or truly scrapping anything. I admit it's a shame to cut her up at all, but it is not like they are tossing large chunks of her into the smelting furnace.
Take a look at the image of the plans. There are big chunks of u-boat missing.
