It's very simple. Oriskany is a memorial to the men that served on board,
It is? Is that why it rusted away due to neglect, and then it was then decided to be an artificial reef?

The USS Oriskany has accrued more than enough military honor to earn the respect of the entire world and to suggest that she's not worthy of memorial status is insulting. I would expect that you could understand her contribution to our (and your) freedom. On behalf of the men that gallantly served aboard the USS Oriskany through 2 wars, I'd like to say, You're welcome.
 
It is possible at time for us to take ourselves just a little too seriously, imho.
