Just some quick info and pics - I will get a more extensive report and lots of pics up on the AUE website in the next day or so.
The ORISKANY is upright. Depth to the flight deck is 137 feet adjacent to the island and on the stern; shallowest depth was 71 feet. Rusty sediment is still coming from the hangar and interior. Time to sink was 37 minutes.
were you on the dive? there seems to be some quesions about the flight deck depth. The news media reports that the Navy stated that it's 150'. Jim from MBT says it's 130'.
Great stuff! In related topics, does anyone know when they plan on sinking the Vandenberg?
Heh.. that's funny... (I mean I really laughed at that.).
They've been saying they were going to sink the Vandenberg for so long that with the USS Oriskany being the "hot topic" that I'd forgotten about the Vandenberg...
Any Key West folks on here that can answer that? (You've got me curious now)

Yes, I was the first on it after the EOD guys cleared the wreck. Depth gauge reading directly on the deck was 137 feet adjacent to the island. I got the same depth on the extreme stern (on the deck) as well and did not notice any list to either side.
