Even if we could raise Musashi(we cannot, it is a war grave), we have no idea what condition the wreck is in. We don't yet have a detailed picture of the entire wreck, and it could easily be shattered in places. Also, everytime someone suggests raising a ship, I tell them:

''If you have to raise a sunken vessel, remember that there was SOME REASON it sank in the first place. If it was able to float on its own, you probably wouldn't have to be raising it. So watch out.''
