The hulk up north heading to a reef in Florida.

Construction started: February 8, 1950, so unless built from steel made before 1945, or recycled steel from shipwrecks built during, or pre-WWII, she don’t qualify as “non-nuclear”

Sad but sounds like she will at least break one last world record:

Still, she can’t glow in the dark to much. :smiling_face:

Seems this is a far better outcome to at least let scuba divers (I am not one) get to enjoy this vessel. Certainly no one is going aboard up in Philly.
