[QUOTE="KingofThings, post: 263149, member: 468"]At war and dire circumstances probably yes...but not normally and today we have better refrigeration. And it's far from 'tossing'. The US Navy has much more in regard to how this is carried out and in other ceremonies such as retirements. Many sailors request that they be buried at sea long after they have served. I have 'stood by' in my whites for 1 or 2 of these ceremonies off Hawaii. Men who served on the USS Arizona have requested and are still being interred aboard her.[/QUOTE]
