@al.comnews: Officials in Okaloosa County, Fla., announced late Monday that the planned sinking of the SS United States has been moved up a day to Wednesday. The former ocean liner was towed out of Mobile early Monday, after undergoing a year and a half of preparations that included the removal of loose paint and other hazardous materials. The ship’s distinctive stacks and other artifacts also were removed for preservation. Plans called for the hull to be sunk early Thursday.
