The USS Arthur W Radford, a 563 foot long ex-US Navy destroyer, is being prepared for sinking by American Marine Group. The sunken cleaned and reef friendly ship will be the largest ship intentionally sunk on the east coast of the United States.

The ship will be reefed on the Del-jersey-land artificial reef site, due east of Indian River Inlet, equidistant from Cape May, New Jersey, Indian River Inlet, Delaware, and Ocean City, Maryland, in approxiametly 130' of water.

Just Completed

The USS Kittiwake, a decommissioned U.S. Navy ship was scuttled Jan. 5 in the clear Caribbean waters of the Cayman Islands.

A 1945-vintage submarine rescue ship, rests on a sandy bottom off Grand Cayman's Seven Mile Beach. The 47-foot-tall ship is at a depth of 62 feet, so the top deck is close to the Caribbean Sea's surface, making it easily accessible for snorkelers and divers.

Crews carefully flooded the rusty hulk so the 2,200-ton ship would settle upright. Holes were punched in the hull and large pumps gradually piped sea water into the ship, which was compartmentalized into three sections.
As it began to sink in a cascade of bubbles, the Kittiwake leaned a bit to its starboard side, but then settled upright on her keel.

RESULTS COUNT!!!
