• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I'm also a BIG fan of the National Geographic: "Drain the Oceans" series (201:cool:

Locating long lost ship wrecks and scanning them in very fine detail.
- most at great depths and cannot be studied any other way.

Then using specialized software, they remove the water and render a 3D, highly detailed view in sunlight.
TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

4 wrecks per episode
Nice history of each ship and how they met their ultimate demise.
CGI of how they sunk & the trip to the bottom.

I've seen the wrecks of Yorktown, Indianapolis, Juneau, Lexington, Bismark, Hood & Prince of Wales to name but a few.
Not just warships, but almost any craft that has sunk over history!

All done in that impeccable "National Geographic" style!
