I realise it's not in service any more, but is congining it to Davey Jones' locker the best thing to do?

The SMALL BOAT on the deck of carrier contains a generator and electronics to set off the explosions. It was designed so this small boat would float free after the carrier sunk!
As far as I know the 'Getting dragged down with the ship' thing is a myth. Well according to Mythbusters anywayAJUK said:That is awesome.
I am surprised that little boat didn't get drageed down though.
