  Well problem is that there are concerns it probably has more asbestos then Brazil reported and what is reported is high. it sat to close to nuclear testing ships under the French and probably has a fallout problem and partially radioactive, has already had a major fire and scrap metal from the ship is currently on the tug that has to drag it. And sitting without maintenance and upkeep for about 4 years has it falling apart and actively taking on water. Repairs are far beyond capable unfortunately. It’s only value is scrap but the metal itself is possible so harmful that the cost of Protections needed for the workers and decontamination of the metal would probably outweigh the value of the scrap.
context: Lula: "The Bolsonaro era is over, we're done destroying the environment for profit!"
  Also Lula: "LOL, too expensive to scrap this ship, let's just sink it in the ocean!" >
  
  This is pretty normal. It gets processed and all harmful or recyclable items are removed. It’s then tug out to a scientifically picked area and sunk as an artificial reef. >
  
  Except this one isnt processed. It's full of asbestos >
  
  Says who and this isn’t scheduled for a few years. Plenty of time to clean >
  
  Says brazillian navy? Insulation is asbestos. Why are you arguing about this >
  
  I am surprised no countries are interested in the carrier. I know it has asbestos, but if they don't modify it the carrier could be useable.
