The 1,000-foot ocean liner SS United States is currently being towed to Mobile, Alabama, for preparatory work before its deliberate sinking off the Gulf Coast of Florida. The entire process of readying and submerging the ship is anticipated to require a minimum of a year and a half. Authorities in Okaloosa County are optimistic that the sunken vessel will boost tourism revenue significantly by becoming a prominent diving site. Susan Gibbs, the president of the SS United States Conservancy, expressed that the ship will epitomize the strength, innovation, and resilience of our nation.
