irishmansoftware.com — The Oriskany, a decommissioned aircraft carrier, was sunk 24 miles off the coast of Pensacola, Fla., on May 17 to form an artificial reef. The sinking of the 888-foot ship took 37 minutes. NICE photos.

I dunno... seems like an easy way to get rid of a big hunk of junk. This isn't littering?

Digg really needs to kill all the "Curious George" motherf**kers out there who don't read the article and still post comments. Dumb asses are asking questions answered by the article. What a waste of skin.

Someone please explain to me how these photographs are "Amazingly High Rez", they are cool pictures but you don't need to describe them in such an over-exaggerated way to grab peoples attention.

What's up with that boat that's strapped to it and is floating at the end where the ship was - was someone on that thing?

Why digg down the comments farther up which provide some links/concerns for the environmental downsides to this sinking? I guess people just think ships sinking are super cool, I'm starting to think digg is being infiltrated by right leaning crazies..
