Is there any way to live stream the sinking?

I saw it when it was docked and in storage in Norfolk. It looked good at the time. The years of inactivity have taken its toll on this once proud vessel and turning it into an artificial reef is a fitting end to its service.

All the damn fishing boats out there watching and getting dead nuts digits on her location

I can’t wait to fish over it.

Are we starting to settle by the stern or have I been watching this too long?

I'm just waiting for the boats alongside her back away. People still walking around on upper deck. They should have pre-recorded how they plan to sink her. Still torching off doors just above water line. Gonna be awhile looks like to me. Maybe they get it done before dark

Went to fish for grouper at this site this summer. I was standing at the bow of the boat when a big damn shark swam right under me. Not sure the kind but it was easily 10+ ft long.
Also realized I had a fear of sunken things sticking out of the surface of the ocean that I cannot see clearly

It reached speeds over 38 to 40 miles per hour (over 38 knots), a record for a passenger ocean liner that remains unbroken.
Impressive. Carnival cruise ships can't even reach 30 mph.

I think I posted this when the shop was moved to Mobile a couple of years, so apologies for repeating myself...
My grandparents were from England and immigrated to Canada and then the US in the aftermath of WW1. They had 4 children and lived a very basic life, but finally went back to visit family in 1957. They sailed from New York aboard the RMS Queen Mary. My parents drove them up to see them off. It just so happened that the United States was berthed next to the Queen Mary. I am 99% sure there are pictures of her in my mom's old photo albums.

This is probably because of O&G safety culture pounded into my brain, but Im surprised this operation has people (and media) on the Fire and Rescue boat... without PFDs on. The camera guy and reporter are one missed step from swimming.

frickin' safety man!

The United States is literally a sinking ship now
