DESTIN, Fla. (AP) — A historic ocean liner is a step closer to becoming the world’s largest artificial reef.

Officials in Florida’s Okaloosa County expect to sink the SS United States off the Gulf Coast during the second week of November. The exact dates could change because of weather.

The ship will be sunk about 22 nautical miles (41 kilometers) southwest of Destin.

This SS United States is the Stupid Stinking United States is it not? This is a great day, long overdue, but I do feel sorry for the ocean life.
