It allows men to fight to the last bullet and with knife if they have to knowing all they have to do is stay alive and they will be saved and not left behind. There are very good reasons for the policy and the above is one of the biggest.

As you know, some -- most, probably -- in Western culture and many others, put a great deal of value on the bodies of the dead and their burial places. Particularly people who believe in the Resurrection of the body. I can't square that with sailors who seem to accept burial at sea with equanimity. But burial at sea at least has a ceremony, a "Christian burial." The desire for a ritual burial is so important that it was the plot of many Greek plays, most famously Sophocles' Antigone.
