SS United States Heads Toward Reef Life (cntraveler.com)

The SS United States, which set a transatlantic speed record on its July 1952 maiden voyage, is being prepared to become the world’s largest artificial reef off Destin, Florida. After arriving in Mobile in March 2025, the nearly 1,000-foot liner underwent environmental cleanup; it is scheduled to be sunk on November 12 to support marine life and attract divers and fishers.
