message: I think USS Merrimac (1898) should also be noted here as a significant act of scuttling. --B.d.mills 01:30, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I'd add 2 subs, if I could recall the names: 1 RN WW2, which nevertheless lead to her skipper's court-martial, & 1 USN, depth charged to destruction postwar, with her fate recorded by cameras placed aboard. Anybody?  TREKphiler hit me ♠  04:29, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't know the RN sub that was scuttled, but a target ship purposefully destroyed in weapons tests doesn't seem like scuttling to me. I always picture scuttling to be under duress. Binksternet (talk) 15:52, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Dive, dive

message: I see an edit that specifies torpedoes as the usual agent of scuttling in naval warfare. What about opening a bunch of valves and hatches from within? Setting time-bomb explosives? Both of these methods have been used as well. Binksternet (talk) 16:13, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Torpedo or ? 

message: In its current incarnation, the Scutting article, spends a lot more time/space talking about specific instances of scuttling instead of about scuttling. Instead of a laundry list of "notable historical" incidents, I'd like to suggest that the article be restructured around the different reasons to scuttle a ship (avoid capture, blockship, dive wreck, etc), with the individual incidents worked into the prose as examples. -- saberwyn 01:33, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suggested restructure 

message: In this article it is stated that it was scuttled with PCBs on board.  In the article on USS Oriskany it states that the PCBs were removed.  It would be helpful if someone who knows better would make both articles read the same.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.117.104.254 (talk) 02:29, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

message: There are more than 200 scuttled U-Boots located mostly in the western Baltic and North Sea around Northern Germany and Denmark. The U-Boot scuttling has been omitted from the subject on Scuttling and would a very interesting almost contemporary subject to add.
Some questions laying open:
Why were the U-Boots scuttled?
Why were the U-Boots not retained in a decommissioned state for posterity and examination?
What U-Boots were scuttled?
There is a detailed examination of U-Boots at UBoot.net.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eurokanga (talk • contribs) 08:35, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Stellar Banner scuttled after being declared unseaworthy
Stellar Banner could be added, I think, to a notable scuttling.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.150.20.246 (talk) 16:48, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
