Very good point, Drakon. Something has sprung to mind. What would you do in the case of something like the Kursk. If the boat (notice I didn't say ship) is raised and returned, including the personnel, would you refer to them differently? and especially in the Kursk's case, where those in the fwd torpedo room are still 'out on patrol' - that part of the boat not being salvaged.......
No disrespect intended. In the RAN, we weren't that mystical... we just referred to them as "lost at sea" or - more often "dead"... (the RAN having the subtlety of a train smash
