Oriskany to be sunk near Pensacola

For those interested:

AP is reporting such this today from the Navy Dept.

"No date has been set for the sinking in 212 feet of water 22 miles southeast
of Pensacola."

In addition this was reported: "The sinking will make the Oriskany the largest
vessel in the United States deliberately sunk to create a reef. But it is
unlikely to hold that distinction for long. The military will soon begin
reviewing places to sink 24 other ships, including three aircraft carriers,
Navy spokeswoman Patricia Dolan said."

This certainly brings up some possible scenarios .... g
