Zitat:The retired aircraft carrier USS America is resting on the Atlantic's bottom, sunk by the Navy through a series of explosions.Die America soll das größte Kriegsschiff sein, das bis dato versenkt wurde.
The 84,000-ton, 1,048-foot warship served the Navy for 32 years.
Pat Dolan, a spokeswoman for Naval Sea Systems Command, told the Daily Press of Newport News the America was sunk May 14 through a series of explosions that flooded the ship, sending it to the bottom of the ocean more than 6,000 feet below. She said the ship rests 58 miles out to sea.
