doughboy1956 Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 This is really neat - I hope you can open it. http://www.irishmansoftware.com/Oriskany.htm Sinking of the Oriskany 17-May-2006 The Oriskany, a decommissioned aircraft carrier, was sunk 24 miles off the coast of Pensacola, Fla., on May 17 to form an artificial reef. The sinking of the 888-foot ship took 37 minutes The SMALL BOAT on the deck of carrier contains a generator and electronics to set off the explosions. It was designed so this small boat would float free after the carrier sunk! I Don't Know Why They Sunk That Aircraft Carrier? They Could Have Sold it To Canada. We Buy all The Old Obsolete Rust Buckets, Britain wants to get Rid Off, Like The Chicoutimi Sumarine, and The Starking Helicopters For Sea Rescue. They Killed More of Our Troops, Than They Saved. Finally After 35 Deaths Related to These Gems. Our Political Misfits, are Looking for Some Other Type of Death Trap for Our Troops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Re: Sinking of the Oriskany 17-May-2006 Heard about this a couple weeks ago. That is a pretty cool series of pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Re: Sinking of the Oriskany 17-May-2006 I watched this on tv as it was happening here. We really needed a reef. The Gulf floor is so flat and boring. There's no live coral like in the Pacific. This ship will house a TON of sea life now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
