The ship's ending is strange, but if it has an environmental benefit, then it's a good ending too.

Thanks for letting us know that the SS United States was sunk in the Gulf of Mexico to make a reef. May she rest in peace.

Glad my county was able to do this! Some locals were not so happy about it but I have been in favor since they announced the plans. Yay

Sold only for 1M is crazy. Way worth more for a historical piece, hopefully the owners do right by it !

I work for a US based cruise company and one of our retired vessels was intentionally scuttled in 2019 off the coast of Delaware at the Indian River Inlet, the location of the Redbird artificial reef. :) She was a smaller vessel (215ft, carrying 100 passengers), but she joined over 100 retired NYC Subway cars, and varying other ships. Such a unique and effective strategy to help our ocean ecosystems!

If only she hung on a little longer she might have seen the end of commercial airline travel

I was wondering why this was important enough to be on the news. Thank you for the education!

There’s a really cool documentary(think it’s on YouTube) from when they did the same thing to the USS Oriskany in 2006 - it’s crazy how much work it takes!

I’m confused why they didn’t keep it for a museum or something 😭 seems like a waste of a historic ship

How happy and sad both at the same time. I like the part about her bringing new life under the water as she did on the water for so many years. We needed a happy story, thank you 💓
