Down She Goes

Jeff gets a no-prize at the bottom of the ocean for bringing us news of the spectacular and useful demise of the USS Oriskany, a WWII-era Essex class aircraft carrier. Her career included combat tours to Korea and Vietnam, as well as a few supporting roles in various movies. She's the first (and so far largest) warship to be turned into an artificial reef.

She's sunk in 210 feet of water, which will make her a challenging dive even to reach the top of the island. Still, it'd be a helluva place to explore!
