I put the suggestion in that they hook a big rope on to the new big tug based here and drag it out to the old barge wreck, didn't go down too well with those responsible for its removal.
Thanks for putting the picture in, saves me the drive round to Pellie point.
Imagine diving on this thing below, ( best yank accent ) its a goddam aircraft carrier boy!
world's largest artificial reef, the USS Oriskany. This retired aircraft carrier was laid to rest 22.5 miles southeast of Pensacola Pass on May 17, 2006. At 888 feet in length and weighing 32,000 tons, this is the largest ship intentionally sunk as an artificial reef and will benefit marine life, sport fishing and recreational diving off the coast of the Florida panhandle.
