to become the World's largest artificial reef near the Redneck Riviera. The vessel still holds the record for fastest ocean liner to cross the Atlantic Ocean (36.6kts)
Those interested in tracking the progress can search for the Tow Vessel Isabelle.

Seems fitting for the United States to find a final resting place in the Gulf of America.

Two weekends ago, I spotted it right after leaving the Mobile tunnel.

His "X" video is outdated. It's been docked in Mobile for nearly two years.

I thought that was already in Mobile. I saw it near the tunnel a year ago I thought.

This is all true. I chose that link because it still shows the smoke stacks on top. Those have since been removed and will be part of the new land-based museum in Destin.

"Hey guys...what the hell do we do with this giant ship that needs to be destroyed? What? Sink it to the bottom of the ocean? Won't we get a lot of backlash? What's that? We tell them that it's actually good for the ocean and they should thank us for doing it? Genius!

It’s going to create a small snorkeling and diving service industry. The ship is so large, and where they plan for it to rest will be such that novice snorkelers can view it from the surface and more advanced divers can explore inside of it.

Pretty cool.
Isn't there another ship, The Pennsylvania maybe, that is sunk off the coast of Pensacola, as well as a Russian Freighter, "3 barges" and an aircraft carrier?

The aircraft carrier will be next. USS Enterprise. I think its almost to Mobile to dock where this one left this morning.
Posted on 11/9/26 at 2:51 pm to Btrtigerfan
I am going to need those numbers.

Fireants came in there too.

I sure wish the SS United States was being sunk off the coast of Louisiana. We're in desperate need of more structure offshore.

How are they going to sink it?
