USS Oriskany

Does anyone know details about the USS Oriskany? Where will she be placed?

Read an update today that indicated it may be down to the states of Florida and Texas. The site representing Florida in their bid against Texas is said to be offshore from Pensacolo(sp) & Destin.

If they put it in Pcola, I guess it will have to be way off shore.

As per a topigraphical that was shown, there is a section of deep water that cuts in pretty close to shore near there.

Here ya go... most everything you might want to know...

Here's a cool pic that Stone provided that shows the deep water close enough to shore to sink her (200+ ft).

Thanks for the info! I hope that P-cola gets it.
