The U.S. is about to sink the 888-feet decommissioned aircraft carrier
Oriskany that steamed off Texas' Corpus Christi on Dec. 20, 2004 and
arrived in Florida's Pensacola on Jan. 11, 2005. Oriskany is the Navy's
first ship to be sunk by the authority provided under the Fiscal Year
2004 National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 108-136) and will be
the largest ship to be turned into an artificial reef, which will bring
about many changes to Florida's marine life, presenting opportunities for
business, fishing, surfing and other entertainment activities. An
official sinking date has not been set. Oriskany served in the Korean War
and the Vietnam War.
