One would think on a museum sub that the sea cocks would have been welded shut.
Should have welded the sea cocks shut.. you are correct. but the reporter says “ hatches”.. obviously the reporter knows little about subs. otoh. the placks , yes a loss, the sub. not so much. never saw combat. There was no real reason to flood the sub.. the low lifes who did this really are scum. total scum. some kimd of mental defects or just plain evil.
