Oil Crisis Temp Fix?

What would the recovery costs be even if there were enuff Ships with
resources to make the idea plauseable?
I'd think the idea is about like bailing out an AirCraft Carrier with a Coffee Cup.

Nice try maybe, but it's not going to save the Ship.

No, but it could temporarily free up some gas money in the military budget.

The entire operation was actually pretty straight forward. 4 dive teams went down and drilled into the tanks, then a tanker hooked hoses to it and pumped it out.

Excellent.

And here i thought that you were going to do the maths for us

No that was the OP who is good with counting

Which makes the OP's arguement dead and buried.

Could it be that the use of CAPS LOCK was a pretty good indication of how well the arguement would stand?

Hey, that's a good idea! I'm applying at once to be a paid nail placer. I mean, getting paid to cause headache to random people around me? Sounds like a dream job!

Then I can write to my CV: "Professional Mischief Expert Extraordinaire". Imagine how good that will sound to prospective employers.

Indeed, just think, you would be on the perfect road for a job in customer service!!!

Here's on for the mathematicians:

would it be economically viable, to salvage an entire ship, sell the fuel and sell the ship itself as scrap metal. Food for thought

Food for thought

How many rusting broken down hulks are sat floating at some dock without anyone being bothered to buy it for the scrap?
Does that answer your question about the economic viability of an expensive salvage operation to raise a rusting wreck from the bottom of the sea to put it into a scrap yard?
