I work in the Navy Yard which is where she *was* moored, so yeah, I will look around tomorrow.
A ship matching her description is still in the yard, hull numbers removed as well as most of the rest of her, but with the rectangular cutouts in the sides, pretty sure it is the Radford.
It is a shame that active ships are constantly dumping tons of crap into the water, yet the environmentalists are so worried about the least amount of possible contaminant getting in the water from an artificial reef project. I absolutely believe reasonable care should be taken to strip contaminants, but even if the ship was sunk fully loaded, it would be so little compared to how much else is dumped.

Her we go again! The latest news is posted in the wreck diving forum. The short version is barring weather events she will leave Philadelphia tonight to start her trip to the site, 1 day on site for the final hole cutting, going down on Wednesday.
