#wreckdivewednesday On May 27, 2009, the ex-military missile-tracking ship, the USNS Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg that once tracked space launches off Cape Canaveral, Fla., and monitored Soviet missile launches during the Cold War, was purposely sunk off the #FloridaKeys to become an artificial reef, thus preserving a bit of U.S. history. Vandenberg slipped beneath the surface in 1 minute, 45 seconds, landing upright on the bottom. Let’s take a look back at that day. https://fla-keys.com/diving/vande

Amazing the things you will see. This is the USNS General Hoyt S. Vandenberg off the coast of Key West. The ship was sunk to create an artificial reef, and is known to be the second largest of its kind in the world. 🤯🤿🚢 #activetarget #divesite #vandenberg | Lowrance
