I left the Oriskany in May of 1955. After several years in the Mothball fleet, the carrier was sunk to become a reef off the coast of Pensacola, Florida in 2007. From what I have learned, she is the only ship ever sunk like that which is sitting on the bottom totally upright!! Some of my old shipmates have dived on her!
