The Navy Has a Top-Secret Vessel It Wants to Put on Display - WSJ.com

Unfortunately as the article says:

But a gift ship from the Navy comes with lots of strings attached to the rigging. A naval museum, the Historic Naval Ships Association warns, is "a bloodthirsty, paperwork ridden, permit-infested, money-sucking hole..." Because the Navy won't pay for anything -- neither rust scraping nor curating -- to keep museums afloat, survival depends on big crowds. That's why many of the 48 ships it has given away over 60 years were vessels known for performing heroically in famous battles.

It sounds like the Navy wants to rid itself of the costs of keeping them, but also will tell you how you must display the vessels. Tim
 
Very cool ship... but as a dive site... I don't think it'd be anymore interesting than a barge. There just isn't much in terms of features to it.
