    Well, they’re about to sink the SS United States… I thought it was satire but it’s an actual thing they’re doing. They’re sinking it in Florida which seems fitting.

      Oh, if they are sinking it in Florida we definitely dont need to worry about seeing the United States ever again.

      They could just drag it inland a bit and give it a few years and it’d be underwater too. But you know would probably be full of crackheads and predators before it goes under.

        They’re not actually sinking the SS United States as an artificial reef - its just in danger of being scrapped because nobody can afford the $60k/month maintence costs, check out gearscouts.com/power-stations if your intrested in emergency power solutions that are way more affordable than keeping a historic ocean liner afloat.
