HI ALL,
the story arouses my curiosity. so, I am going to make a research about it. few facts that I do know now- 1- the only time the Israeli army used carriers was during the war for independence in 1948, and they were caught from the Egyptian army. 2- during the 1967 conflict the Egyptian army used Russian weapons and armory. 3-there were no carriers in the area during the seventis. I know that for sure, I was there at the time. SO, I guess these carriers were caught in SHARM EL SHECH in the south of the SINAI dezet. It realy looks like these carriers were dumped into the sea. at that time there was no road from SHARM EL SHECH to ISRAEL. so maybe, thats was the reason that it was dumped to the sea. but, as I said, this interesting, and I will research it. arie

Richard, No!, That's something they have put on to stop people climbing in it, not service use applied. I need to find that picture.

Someone once said there is a similar vehicle/ammo dump in the St Lawrence and shown in a Jacques Cousteau show/documentary.
Does anyone know if this is true, or another urban myth? Would it really be that hard to take a few balloons down, give them all a shot of air from spare scuba tanks , tether and let the air lift them? With different lengths of tether, balloons near the surface could be filled almost 100% to provide max lift, I guess the tough part would be breaking one free, once free. lifting and slowly towing to shore might not be so difficult? or is this just silly?

lift bags would easily raise them, however getting authority to do it is one thing.... also when the machine is pulled from the fizzy sea bath, unless it is immediately emersed in a solution to counter act the salt.... the thing will fizz away and become as brittle as the preverbial Wan~~rs hankerchief in hours.
seen it happen first hand.
