Well, his body will be desecrated by worms if buried in soil. I think dropping him in the sea is a good idea. Muslim's may not bury their dead at sea most of the time, but then most muslims are not at sea most of the time. I understand Muslims didn't do what the French navy did during the age of sail did, which was to stash the dead in the hold, packed in salt or in liquor, for burial on land. So hardly could it be said that drop a dead muslim over the side is not consistent with Muslim tradition under the circumstances.
Basically, dropping him over the side deprive muslims of the possibility of worshipping his grave as a shrine, while not appearing to go out of the way to desecrate his body. It's much the same as what was done to Nurenburg war crime convicts sentenced to death.
