SS United States to become artificial reef

[scruffy]

Did you ever sail on this ship?

I did, when I was 6 years old. Le Havre to NY.

Now it's going to become a reef off the coast of Florida.

The legendary SS United States sets sail for the last time, and its final destination is not a port, but the bottom of the ocean

SS United States leaves the Delaware River—its final voyage ends as a record-setting ship becomes a Gulf artificial reef.

When I was on a ship in Norfolk in 1979, the SS United States was moored just down from the Norfolk Naval Base. I don't remember when, but I was assigned there again years later, and she had been moved.
