2. So, you have to follow all legal rules in intentionally sinking a boat, but there's nothing that says if it's done by accident, you get a fine for letting the boat sink and remain in the ocean?
3. RIP the passengers of this great ship, and my sympathies to the families of those unlucky victims. Their sacrifice will not go in vain, and they will live on in the dreams of those they leave behind.
4. they meant to sink this boat.
5. WHERE DID THEY SINK THIS ID LIKE TO FISH IT
6. : (
7. Show de bola !!!!
8. Khiếp quá
9. And Uncle Sam footed the bill when it came time to service it. The Navy donated it to a group of eggheads who didn't have the know-how, resources, or cash to service it properly, so they put it to excellent use as an artificial reef rather than let it rot at the dock.
10. Pardon me, but I have the answer to that. With boats past a certain age, the metal is so salt water eroded that it's near worthless. Really, this is the best thing to do with it. 
11. Metal that old is near worthless from salt water erosion. Really, this is the best thing for it.
12. The metal is almost worthless. Salt water erosion.
13. Salt water erodes the metal something fierce. Really, this is the best thing for it.
14. That's horrible! and some-what nasty to see the ship puke out tht red stuff that looked like blood. o_o
15. sunk by Russian Mini Submairne, LMAO
16. dirty water
17. I would laugh if a blow up doll came out of the captains room :3
18. While this is cool, why wouldn't they just reuse the metal from the boat in something else?
19. 0:40 even boats take a last dump when they die...

R/V Jane Yarn Sinks off Georgia Coast

ANSWERS TO COMMENTS: the tow rope was used to tow the boat out to the site about 15 miles offshore (you can't intentionally sink a boat with a working engine on it). NO ONE DIED. The boat was thoroughly cleaned over the course of more than a year before it was sunk, to make sure it conformed to government standards. It is now home ot thousands of fish. * * * * On Thursday, August 24, 2007, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources intentionally sank the aging research vessel Jane Yarn to create an artificial reef. The Yarn, named for the late environmental pioneer Jane Hurt Yarn, served since 1998 as the primary research vessel for Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary off the Georgia coast. This new use for the ship honors Jane Yarn's commitment to the Georgia coast, and a plaque affixed to the new artifical reef bears her name.
