Carriers
 
Interesting pictures here.

The article talks about up to 40 Carriers on the sea bed.

Israeli Bren Gun Carriers dumped in the sea when they withdrew from the Sinai in 1948 ?. My dads friend witnessed them being pushed off the back of the ship.

I feel physically sick....... what a terrible terrible waste..... wonder if that armour could be saved :)

The road wheels probably have mint rubber. Would sure solve the problem a lot of people have with wanting to cast new ones. Guess it would be pretty tough to disassemble the suspension three atmospheres down though. :rolleyes

AOP Carrier??
 
The carrier in the 3rd and 4th pictures looks to me like an AOP. And actually looks in better condition than the one I may be starting with!!

i noticed one had the extra shielding on the front and presumed it was some sort of wasp type carrier or similar. fantastic hoard of carriers though

In international waters ....?

123 feet of water! All that would take is a old ship with a picker and a big hook. Just catch it on almost anything and up they come.

Bait /
 
I guess the only question is - what kind of bait would you use to catch those bottom dwelling carrierfish ?

Cheers

there has been ww2 stug tanks retrived from the black sea and restored, maybe bring one up and make an assessment of its condition.

It has been done before - see Grappling Grants in Canadian waters.

I sincerely doubt anyting restorable remains once you´ve give those carriers a quick sandblast, though. . .
