Use as an artificial reef seems an honorable fate for some ships.
Can't turn 'em all into floating museums.
And I sure wouldn't want to see 'em cut up and melted
in Indonesia to be reimported from China as a Huffy bicycle.
I suppose Naval target practice is another practical use.
But as necessary as that may be, it always
left me with an uneasy feeling as being not quite right.

Here's to all who served aboard the Spiegel Grove during her many years of service!

The ship was going to be sunk at 2:00 EST. It looks like that the ship sunk prematurely. No details on what happened, but the website reports that all workers evacuated safely.

That's a good size vessel. Should make for some good diving. I dove the 200 ft Coast Gaurd cutter and a 300ft cargo ship that are already sunk a few years ago. It was great. Saw a couple of huge Jew fish, I mean huge.

It would have been easier to just change the name of the ship....
