When my crew and I fought a galleon and sunk it, we did not have enough resources to carry on with our voyage and had to scuttle ship to regain bananas, planks, and cannonballs. When scuttling, an Idea popped up into my head; Why not make the sunken ship "drop" or spawn barrels of resources like the ones you find roaming around randomly?
It would also help while doing a skullfort raid and defending your sloop or galleon against other players. When a ship sinks and that ship had loot in it, the loot floats to the top, they could make the barrels behave like that.
I consider that this small but useful feature would be a great addition to Sea of Thieves because it would stop the hassle of scuttling ship various times just to get resources and it would add a more rational reason to engage in PVP combat. This could also be implemented into the skeleton crew ships in the upcoming update.
