It sure looked like the stern didn't hit bottom before it was completely under.

They do have to sink it deep enough so it's not a hazard to navigation but if the water's deeper than 320 feet then accounting for a 60 foot or more keel to top of wheelhouse height it's at least 200 foot plus from the surface to the uppermost structure.

Not a lot of divers able to reach that depth, all that time, effort and money to create something most divers can't enjoy safely.

And if it's upside down.......
