In the spring of 2006, the USS Oriskany (CVA-34), known to sailors as “Big O,” embarked on her final voyage. The 888-foot aircraft carrier was towed to the Gulf of Mexico to be sunk as an artificial reef off the coast of Pensacola. From an active warship to an underwater structure, the Oriskany closed its service with a new role, transitioning from a tool of war to a home for marine life and a monument to maritime history. 🙏⚓🇺🇸 | Global Military History

Forty-four shipmates lost to fire, smoke, and duty aboard the USS Oriskany. Their brothers stood at attention as the chaplain’s voice carried over the wind: “Eternal Father, strong to save, whose arm hath bound the restless wave…” committed to the deep, the ocean closing gently over him. They were sailors to the end — bound by steel, fire, and faith. The sea that took them also cradled them, as it has so many before. #GhostsoftheBattlefield #USSOriskany #MightyO #OriskanyFire #BurialAtSea #USNav
