It appears today that the SS United States has been sold to Escambia County, Florida (Pensacola) - to be sunk as an artificial reef and diving attraction like ex-USS Oriskany. It all hinges on final approval by the County Board of Commisioners, which deferred a final decision until next week. Cost of tow and decontamination also yet to approved. I saw this on Facebook thus no link but there are stories out there if you look.
