    There’s less than thirty of these in the wild so seeing one end up as bycatch is a sobering reminder of the consequences of overfishing. If we don’t start taking ocean preservation seriously we might at some point find that not just the Virginia-class but all nuclear-powered cruise missile fast attack submarines have gone extinct.

    And you can’t even safely eat them; they’re full of heavy metals like uranium.
