Looks like diving around Pensacola is about to get really exciting. Tomorrow, a 888-foot aircraft carrier, Oriskany, is slated to become the next diving hotbed. It will sink 24 miles South of Pcola. I’m pretty pumped about this and wonder how soon I will get to dive on it. Certainly, it will be my diving goal for the summer. I wonder if it has to settle or anything like that.
Anyone up to dive an aircraft carrier?

I have heard that it will take a total of 5 hours to sink this ship. I couldnt help thinking that is amazing considering it is deliberate. Says something about the Titanic..what, I really dont know.

Actually, it went a lot faster than they expected and ended up only taking about 30-45 minutes.

That is interesting.
I remember reading that there was speculation that the Titanic did not hit an iceberg at all. But that the sinking was, in fact, due to cheap steel (being produced at the time in Ireland) which buckled under pressure. Any thoughts??
