SS United States沉置跟进：奥卡卢萨县11月12日解除安全区，声呐与遥控潜水器确认船体直立、首批潜水员已下水拍照

美国佛罗里达州德斯坦消息，佛罗里达州奥卡卢萨县 11 月 12 日解除了客轮 SS United States 沉置海域的安全区，潜水员现可前往参观。据潜水新闻站 DeeperBlue 11 月 12 日更新，首批下水的潜水员威尔·欣顿与拉斯廷·卡斯韦已经拍到该船直立坐底的照片。

该船于 11 月 11 日退伍军人日当晚约 9 时，在德斯坦-沃尔顿堡滩西南约 22 海里、即约 41 公里处沉入墨西哥湾，成为世界最大人工礁。这艘船长 302 米、即 990 英尺，就此超过 2006 年在彭萨科拉外海沉置、长 271 米的奥里斯卡尼号航空母舰。

沉置原定于 11 月 12 日举行，县里因预报周四有强风而提前 24 小时进行，并取消了原定的公众送别仪式。该船沉降地点的海床深约 55 米，县里预计船体顶部距水面约 17 至 18 米，在休闲潜水可达范围内，船体与底部沙地则属于技术潜水范畴；这些数字是计划值而非测量值。县里周四表示，声呐与遥控潜水器已确认该船按计划直立坐底。

奥卡卢萨县 2024 年以 100 万美元从 SS United States 保护协会手中买下该船并主持沉置项目。美联社报道说，该船 1951 年下水，比泰坦尼克号更长，曾运送过四位总统、《蒙娜丽莎》与一批 20 世纪影星；整个沉置过程历时约五小时，工作人员拆除船体塞子让船进水下沉，没有使用炸药。该船加入德斯坦-沃尔顿堡滩外海 500 多个人工礁点的网络。佛罗里达州鱼类与野生动物保护委员会统计，自 1940 年以来佛罗里达州已建造 4000 多个人工礁。

SS United States Sinking Follow Up: Okaloosa County Lifted the Safety Zone on November 12, Sonar and a Remotely Operated Vehicle Confirmed She Landed Upright, and the First Divers Have Photographed Her

DESTIN, Florida, United States — Okaloosa County, Florida, lifted the safety zone around the wreck of the ocean liner SS United States on November 12, and divers can now visit, according to a November 12 update by the diving news site DeeperBlue. The first divers down, Will Hinton and Rustin Cassway, have photographed her sitting upright.

She went under just before 9 p.m. local time on Wednesday, November 11, Veterans Day, about 22 nautical miles, or 41 kilometres, southwest of Destin Fort Walton Beach, becoming the world's largest artificial reef. At 302 metres, or 990 feet, long, she takes that title from the 271 metre, or 888 foot, aircraft carrier USS Oriskany, sunk off Pensacola in 2006.

The sinking had been set for Thursday, November 12. The county moved it forward 24 hours because of strong winds forecast for Thursday and cancelled the public sendoff ceremony planned for the same day. The seabed at the site sits at around 55 metres, and the county expects the top of the ship to sit around 17 to 18 metres below the surface, within reach of recreational divers, while the hull and the sand at the bottom are a job for technical divers. Those numbers are the plan, not a survey. The county said on Thursday that sonar and a remotely operated vehicle had confirmed she landed upright, as intended.

Okaloosa County bought her for 1 million dollars in 2024 from the SS United States Conservancy and ran the project. The Associated Press reported that the ship, launched in 1951 and longer than the RMS Titanic, once transported four presidents, the Mona Lisa and a slate of 20th century movie stars, and that crews removed plugs in the hull to let her fill with water over about five hours without explosives. She joins a network of more than 500 artificial reef sites off Destin Fort Walton Beach. Since 1940, Florida alone has created more than 4,000 artificial reefs, according to a state fish and wildlife commission tally.
