USS Oriskany Update

[The Kraken]

I'm looking forward to the flight-deck and superstructure I don't think I'll be into any deco-diving by then, but who knows 5 minutes zooming across the flight deck and then circle around the superstructure on the way up Should be fun

Hey, Bug Man . . .
Maybe a bunch of us should rent scooters and take off from the flight deck in formation.

Wonder if ya still have to catch the #3 wire when ya land?

Bwahahahaa!

That would be hillarious Slow-mo take-off-n-landings by a bunch of underwater rocketeers!

Yeah, but you could really impress the hot chicks at the bar by honestly telling them that you had made a takeoff and landing from a carrier deck.

Wonder what your "Wings of Gold" should look like ? ? ? ?

You'll definately have to head outside Pensacola to try that line... Using your status as a pilot as a pickup line probably won't get you much more than a "thanks" as they walk away with the drinks you just bought...

Gold-plated BP and black wings with gold piping?

i LIVE NEAR PENSACOLA . cOMING DOWN THE i 110 INTO DOWNTOWN, IT CAN BE SEEN FROM ONE OF THE DOWNTOWN EXITS . fROM A HT OVER ALL THE LOCAL BLDGS, YOU STILL CAN'T LOOK DOWN UPON THE DECK.

iT'S IMPRESSIVE FROM CLOSE UP. yOU AREN'T ALLOWED ON IT, BUT CAN PARK YOUR CAR ABOUT 50 YDS OFF THE STBD BOW.

i UNDERSTAND IT WILL BE MOVED AGAIN FOR AWHILE AS HURRICANE SEASON IS ALMOST UPON US. i JUST THIS WEEK HAD MY DAMAGED ROOF REPLACED. mk

 

[SuPrBuGmAn]

Ease off the caps dude.

I thought they were gonna keep it in port during hurricane season and partially sink it to keep it 'in place'?

 

[DiveCop71]

Well - It's still in the dock last I checked. Kinda hard to lose something that big.
As for the hurricane season, It's more likely to get hit by one WHILE moving it..
Better (and cheaper) to leave it in place.

 

[SuPrBuGmAn]

Its docked in Texas, has been for a few months...
