She's on the bottom!
KEY WEST, Fla. -- The Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg sank at approximately 10:24 a.m. Wednesday, successfully concluding a 13-year-project to convert the decommissioned military missile-tracking ship into a new artificial reef off Key West. The vessel sank to the ocean floor about seven miles south of the island in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. At approximately 10:22 a.m., demolition experts pushed a button that ignited cutting charges strategically positioned in bilge areas below the shipâs waterline. The Vandenberg disappeared below the waterline less than two minutes later. |
