I would imagine that a warship (and it's former crew) would greatly prefer seeing her go down in a blaze of glory... even if it was a gunnery practice... VS the alternative - being towed away and chopped up into little pieces - returning to us as little Mazdas & Subarus.
The Huron didn't necessarily go down in a fight - just the next best thing to one.

Guys,
i wasn't trying to get any one mad at me with the way i feel about Huron, she should been a museum ship. What was canada thinging as far as far as acutlly doing doing it, or were at going to sink her in the first place. she was tge second oldest ship in the class and Algonguin was the baby in the class, right?

Guys
Sorry. Algonquin is the Baby in the class right? Shawn Taylor who was on Algonquin was also on Huron to right, I love what he said about her.. And yes she did go down in the blaze of glory. Ok about this whole thing the only Misslie used was a surface to air not the surface to surface Missile right?

NASAAN101...So why do you feel this strong about the Huron? What connection do you have with this ship? Maybe if you enlighten us we will be better able to understand where you are coming from.
I will break a few things down for you:
What the Huron sinking accomplished:
1) It enabled our Navy and other Navies to predict how a ship would react with battle damage. This will save lives.
2) Seeing how long Huron stayed afloat with all that ordnance being shot into it gave our sailors confidence in our ships so we now know how much damage a 280 can absorb.
3) We don't get to shoot at actual ships a lot so this gave our crews confidence that our weapons can do as advertised.
4) Huron becomes a reef for marine life.

Why?Is there a group of people out there looking to buy an old 280 and turn it into a museum? Huron was laid up for several years before it was sunk? Was there any interest expresed then anout turning it into a museum? Had people wanted to I am sure they could have saved the ship if they were organized.
Huh?You will have to explain the first part of your statment. As for being the second oldest what does that have to do with anything? She was in the apparent worse condition then the other 3 280s.

Ex-Dragoon ,
you guys are going to think i'm Nuts, But i've always loved ships always, from Titanic to right down to the Bismarck.. that just the way i am.. I know it seams dumb, and i wish i could explain why, i just can't.. I thing one of the mean reasons is i had a consin who was in the US navy.. Also how far off the coast is she, i heard 92-miles, is that right? And how deep is she?
Nikki..

Nothing wrong with loving ships but be careful how you come across when you post.Right now your posts are not coming across to favourably. As for her location check out the site I provided earlier.

Algonquin, Iroquois, Athabaskan and Huron all belong to the same class. There are some differences but you will find that in any warship of the same class.
Ummm you know from a previous post that Huron rests at 2,468 meters right?

I watched the SINKEX today on The History Channel. It was interesting to see.
It was a yawner for me..... had some cool moments here and there but I wasn't to impressed. I was hoping that the American sub would get a shot at it with it's torpedo I never knew the exact science of how they worked till I saw that show and it's pretty amazing.
