"Official" low-background steel comes from German ships scuttled at Scapa Flow after the first World War, while the wrecks that have disappeared from the Pacific probably just went to the general scrap market.

A recent high-profile case of illegal salvage from the Pacific War that I recall was HNLMS De Ruyter and a few other ships sunk in the same battle disappearing a few years ago. A bunch of Japanese ships that got sunk in shallow waters in the Phillipines during and after the Battle of Leyte Gulf also were salvaged, if not illegally than in poor taste, in the decades after the war too. I guess there isn't really an enforcement mechanism for stopping this but I imagine that the US would throw a shitfit if anyone touched the wrecks in Iron Bottom Sound

If the dimensions are not in the ratio of 1:4:9, then it's not a real monolith.

It's funny because I am always 100% cool with women breastfeeding in public but when I was a manager at Barnes & Noble like 8 years ago an insane woman came in with her baby and was loudly yelling about how she's breastfeeding and walking around with her boob out and everyone had that wide eyed "is poo poo going down" look on their faces and I was like please don't end up with me coming off as the rear end in a top hat manager in news articles because I have to corral the weirdo woman or call the cops Luckily she left by her own accord soon afterwards but I can't imagine a worse PR stunt for breastfeeding rights, it was like those PETA events where they try to sell anti animal cruelty by doing Girls gone Wild style bullshit
