How dare those people...
There's no honor among thieves, but this is a whole new level.

how many shady divers are in the area?

There are very few people I actually wish physical harm to. Whoever did this is among those.

I wonder if what they done was illegal otherwise they aren't thieves and vandals but rather scavengers.

"She said the plaque "bestowed honor on their ship and fallen shipmates. When it went missing, the survivors felt that part of themselves had also gone missing.”"

Until now I never knew anything about this ship too bad it wasn't done sooner by reputable divers.

Tune up the RADAR and set the Ebay watch

To veterans, it's like robbing a grave.

I must strongly disagree with that.

It is not "like" robbing a grave. It IS robbing a grave. And it's not just veterans who feel that way. I hope that whoever is responsible is caught, and prosecuted to the fullest possible extent.

Edit:
This does bring up a question, though. At what point should a shipwreck be able to be excavated as an archeological site?
