Once the world's fastest ship and longer than the Titanic, the USS was deliberately sunk in the waters off the coast of Florida to become the world's largest artificial underwater reef.
The ship was moved to Florida after almost three decades of being docked in the Port of Philadelphia, and it is expected to become a habitat for marine species and an attractive destination for divers and marine life enthusiasts.
During the years of the ship's activity, famous personalities such as the actor Marlon Brando, Coco Chanel, the founder of Chanel, Salvador Dali, the painter Salvador Dali, Walt Disney, among the pioneers of the American film animation industry, were among its famous passengers.
