Question for all of you.

Not likely, trying to raise something of that size and weight, even if it's not as badly corroded as the Titanic, she's not going to come up in one piece, and even when she's up she'll require a very specialist environment to be housed in for at least a decade in order to stop the metal from decaying.
Then you've got the problem that it's technically a war grave, even though no-one was actually killed by the explosion directly.
Then there's the cost of the work, not only to actually lift the ship and put it somewhere safe, but also the disruption it would cause to a busy shipping lane.

In the end it would be far cheaper to wait until Titanic II is built, if ever.
