Just finished reading the history of the American Star on Wikipedia - quite a long career & a shame how she ended up.

there was a discovery programme on recently about that, very impressive how they did itImperial Chrysanthemum on the bow of the Yamato, Japanese Battleship, WWII.
Bismark's running mate Heavy Cruiser the Prinz Eugen, still above water at Kwajalein Atoll.
That thing across the harbour entrance causing the white water is the pre-Dreadnought Battleship HMS Hood (1891), sunk deliberately there in 1914 to stop German submarines from entering Portland harbour. It's still there.

Tricolor car carrier lying on it's side in the English channel. I wish there was a documentary on Discovery or similar on how they raised this wreck.
Edited to add: The MV Flare has always interested me. Broke in two off Canada, aft section stayed afloat for days afterwards.

When HMS Audacious (almost brand new WWI Battleship) hit a mine off Loch Swilly in 1914 it began to sink, no lives were lost.
