The main thing though is that it would be very expensive to even attempt to raise the thing and it structural integrity most likely shot.On top of that similar operations have been attempted in the past at very great cost but with limited results.

Look up Project Azorian some time already mentioned in this thread.It was only a partial success they wanted the entire sub and only where able to get a section of it.The cost simply is not worth the effort in this case several million bucks(perhaps over a billion) just for an old Japanese sub I think not.

Thanks for the info, but I was asking why he thought it should be left as a war grave, not why it couldn't be raised. But still, thanks.
