SS United States to be scuttled as world's largest artificial reef off Florida

The SS United States, the world's fastest ocean liner, will be deliberately sunk 25 miles off Destin, Florida, on Wednesday to become an artificial reef, ending a decades-long dispute over its fate. The operation, involving five tugboats, marks a final repurposing of the historic vessel rather than a market-moving event. The reef is expected to boost local marine tourism and ecosystem, but no broader economic or geopolitical implications are indicated.
