ABOARD THE MV DELAWARE (AP) — Some sailors who served on the Navy destroyer U.S.S. Arthor B. Radfordgathered Wednesday to watch it be pushed to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean to become part of a manmade reef.
"It's sad to see it being sunk," said Lee String, 46, of Westville, N.J., who served on the ship in 1985 as a welder, pipefitter and plumber. "It was once a proud-looking ship, but it's better to see it go to that purpose rather than razor blades."

Sinking
How sad to see something so noble stripped and gutted. I know the fish will be happy, so will the fishermen, in time, but it is still sad. Yes, better than razor blades.
