Default SS United States to become the world's largest artificial reef.
The SS United States is on its way to become the world's largest artificial reef. Right now, she is about 30 miles east of Ft. Pierce, being towed to Port Mobile for a cleanup. Okaloosa County paid about $10 million for her. Eventually, she will probably be submerged about 20 miles south of the Destin-Fort Walton Beach area.

Capt. Mike Vinik of the tugboat, Vinik No. 6, took this pic.
