Hi, does anyone have an idea on how to translate to Spanish "send for scrap"? The context is that there has been a fight between the inventor of the submarine and the navy authorities and the invention got sent for scrap.

Suggestion ( guesswork)
el primero submarino invento fue vendido como chatarra.

The problem is that it hasn't gotten actually sold, it has just been sent to a warehouse to be stripped down to pieces and used as scrap metal. Thanks for the suggestion :) - Ma_hajde, May 27, 2013
Ok, I was guessing, in that case perhaps : mandar a chattaras/basuras?? - annierats, May 28, 2013

"Scrap" usually indicates the process of reusing material, so I would say mandar a reciclar.

The point isn't in the process of reusing material, the point is that the authorities abandoned the project, didn't care for it any more, and sent it to a warehouse as something useless - Ma_hajde, May 27, 2013
From what you just said, I would say: "Mandaron el submarino a que se quedara abandonado en un almacén" - 005faa61, May 27, 2013
