Why It Matters

The US Navy has previously sunk decommissioned warships to serve as training targets and artificial reefs.

Font size

A decommissioned US warship has been sunk off Scotland's west coast during a training exercise.

USS Klakring was hit by a missile and a torpedo before sinking in the North Atlantic about 170 miles (274km) off the Outer Hebrides last Monday.

The US Navy said the ship went a through "rigorous" cleaning process first, and personnel checked for the presence of whales and dolphins before the live-firing exercise started.

Other warships, including an aircraft carrier in 2006, have been deliberately sunk at sea by the US as part of training and to create artificial reefs for marine life.
