I never understood the war graves thing. On land, people go to great effort to recover the bodies and re-inter them in proper graves. In the sea, they get designated as graves and nothing can be salvaged.

There aren't many spots on land a body can wind up that are comparable in difficulty to access as thousands of feet underwater.

I know. But for those that can do salvage, what's the problem?
