>The Coast Guard plans to use cannon fire to sink a derelict Japanese ship
>The ship holds more than 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel

>>8806653
Let's hope they don't evaporate the ocean

>>8806653
What, is that somehow more than what all the other ships that were sunk during both world wars were carrying? Plus they don't use diesel, they use bunker fuel.

>>8806653
They'll pump the fuel before sinking the ship, you nooblord.

Look at the bright side, on the bottom of the ocean she will be the house and saviour of millions of creatures.
Her life will give birth and safety to many many families of fish and stuff.

Even if her final wish to be with the humans again was denied her life had meaning.

In before cannon fire enrages it's indomitable machine-spirit, and it sinks it's attackers via ramming.

But seriously. The CG is not aware of salvage tugs? It's obviously not going to sink, just tow it in.

I'm sorry shrimpboatchan
next time aim for the east coast.

Too bad she didn't end up near the african coasts, the niggers would've gladly repropoused her into a nice pirate ship

>>8806669
About time the staff started cracking down on your avatarfaggotry.

Why the hell would they blow it up? It floated across the pacific; on it's own, without a crew, after being hit by a god damn tsunami.
It's clearly a good ship; why waste it?

>>8806711
It's haunted

brb, gotta go.

Sincerely.

>>8806711

It's been irreparably damaged, and is currently a navigational hazard.

How on earth did the ship get so rusty in such a short space of time? Do ships really get rusty that quickly?

She couldn't speak Shrimpboat chan, she didn't have any voice, but she was loyal.
To her commander, leading her into the vast ocean looking for riches.
To her crew, tending to her needs, cleaning her deck, oiling her engines.
To herself, always striving for perfection, somehow leading her commander to better, more rich seas, avoiding bad weather, keeping steady in the foulest of the storms.
But she couldn't see that coming, the huge wave that crushed into her. She felt the force of the impact, every bullon of her metal body screaming under the pressure, but she hold on, she couldn't disappoint her commander, her crew, she had to resist.
But with unrelenting force the sea crushed on her, again...
and again...
and again...
Until the coast was no more, her commander was no more, her crew was no more.
But she wasn't build like that Shrimpboat chan, she had character and a will of steel, so she moved on, crossing the seas, looking for her loved ones with hope in her heart.
And the joy she felt when she looked upon her sister, riding the waters aiming to her.
Soon her long voyage will end, and she will be once again reunited with her crew.
Soon she shall be polished again, in her old glory, ready to serve those who have cared for her all this time.
Soon, /jp/, soon.

>looking for riches
She was a shrimping boat.

>>8806767

Yes, they do. Ships require constant maintenance.

>>8806756
And sending it to the bottom with gunfire is cheaper than salvaging?

Okie dokie.

>>8806780

I'm sure the Japanese Coast Guard has piles of any piece they could salvage off a shrimpboat.

>>8806780

I don't think you understand exactly how inexpensive bullets are.

>>8806780
As a matter of fact, yeah, a few shots are than the costs involving bringing back the ship to a shipyard without it breaking down along the way.

>>8806780
Hauling a ship isn't exactly cheap and easy. And it's pretty rusted up, and probably not worth the scrap

>>8806791
>>8806793

Not doubting in the least. Just a bit confused that nobody decided to salvage it.
I guess the cost of the fuel oil and labor is more than the boat is worth.

>>8806802
The biggest issue is rust, once it takes root to that exent there's isn't much you can salvage.

why salvage it when you can blow it up and put mo
re trash in the ocean

>>8806767
Out on the ocean with all that salt in the air and in the water yes they degrade rather quickly without maintenance.

I remembered I only replied to shitpost, then watched the thread die.

>>8806817
Well if it sinks it would sit at the bottom of the ocean and become the home to hundreds of forms of life. Kind of ironic since this boat probably killed millions of other forms of life.

Yay, more garbage to pollute the environment with!

gg America

>>8806859
Except its not really polluting. It will become a reef and harbor millions of life forms. Idiot.

i hope they film it
i wanna see some cannons!

>>8807282
Yeah, because the blasts will make sure the whole thing will remain intact, right?

Not to mention all the iron that will slowly dissolve into the water, as if that's nothing.

>>8807379

You do know all artificial reefs are made out of iron right? And it will be in big chunks. It can not blast it into tiny bits.

>>8807393
Are you denying there will be screws and other tiny bits of metal all over the ocean after they blast the thing to sink it?

>>8806860
>then watched the thread die.
Brutal, man.
Do you take pleasure from watching threads in agony?

>>8807393
implying fish want trash.

They sink her because she is a risk to actually working ships. As she is currently, she's a danger to any ships in the area. Her wreckage or parts could crash into other ships.
And they can't pull it to shore because these type of maneuvers are incredibly expensive and looking how the ship itself has no value, nobody is willing to do such a thing.

So no, they're not monsters.

>>8807429
B-but shrimp chan...! Our love was impossible!

TERRORIST THREAT SINK IT QUICK FOR THE LAND OF FREEDOM GOD BLESS AMERICA THE GREATEST COUNTRY

Jenny!

What about the shrimps?

I await owner
Am thrown by a Tsunami
Sunk by Alaska

Don't despair, maybe /jp/ can have a beachcombing meet and find new homes for figs and dakimakura that were out at sea this whole time.

Rest well fair maiden of the sea, let the currents take your spirit to the great lakes and oceas of gensokyo.

And may you once again spend time with the happy sailor villagers fishing for shrimp.

omfg save the shrimps O_O''

>>8807986
Seeing her never ceases to make me hungry. Fuck, squid's delicious.

Someone should make a doujin about her arrival in Gensokyo. Falling on the Misty Lake and becoming a great attraction or something.
