	Ship-Submarine recycling program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ship/Submarine Recycling Program (SRP) is the process the United States Navy uses to dispose of decommissioned nuclear vessels.
		A submarine is cut into three or four pieces: the aft section, the reactor compartment, the missile compartment if one exists, and the forward section.
		In the process of submarine recycling, all hazardous and toxic wastes are identified and removed, reusable equipment is removed and put into inventory.

	Recycling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Motivations for recycling include environmental concerns, as recycling reduces the use of energy and raw materials and the need to dispose of waste, and for cost reasons, in situations where production from recycled material is less expensive than from new material.
		Recycled materials can be derived from pre-consumer waste (materials used in manufacturing), or post-consumer waste (materials discarded by the consumer).
		Recycling may still be socially efficient even when carried out at a financial loss - although an alternative to avoid this would be to tax raw material use appropriately so that prices fully reflect all the costs involved, instead of subsidising recycling.

		Recycling is the reuse of materials that would otherwise be considered waste, usually in some other form (as compared to reuse, which is reuse of the material in the same form).
		In theory, recycling would be a continuing reuse of materials for the same purpose, but in practice much recycling extends the useful life of a material, but in a less versatile form.
		For example, as paper is recycled, the fibers shorten, making it less useful for higher grade papers.

		And, after her arrival at her home port, Pearl Harbor, on 1 October 1959, scientific instruments were installed to assist her in navigating under the shifting polar ice with its potentially hazardous submerged pressure ridges, in locating open leads and thin ice through which to surface, and in gathering oceanographic and hydrographic data.
		Making her first pass under the pole at 0934, the submarine began a clover leaf search for thin ice and at 1049 she surfaced, according to her log, 25 feet from the pole.
		During the work, she became the first nuclear ship to be refueled at that shipyard.
