USS America (CV-66) is on the bottom of the Atlantic. She was ‘expended’ as they say in a SinkEx to develop design criteria to improve the survivability of the current generation of carriers.

Ameerica was sunk in a SINKEX, live fire exercise. She took a LOT to go down, in fact rumor has it that IED personnel had to go onboard and wire her to sink. She taught the Navy a lot.

Where is the USS America (CVA/CV-66)museum? The Navy sank her to gather data for the USS Gerald R Ford about four years ago. She was sank off VACAPES in about 15,000 ft of water. She was considered too classified to allow access to her in less shallow water.
