<P>NTDS가 가장 먼저 설치된 함정으로 기억하는데, 'Big O' 오리스카니가 올해 5월 17일 멕시코 만에 인공환초용으로 침몰시킬 예정입니다. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>기사 보고 "이거 또 대함미사일이랑 어뢰 몇 대 받고 뿌실라 그러나~" 싶었는데 전혀 아니네요. 3만 2천톤, 전장 888피트(270m)의 오리스카니는 침몰이 성공할 경우, 인공적으로 침몰시키는 것에 성공한 가장 큰 해군 함선으로 기록된답니다. </P>

<P>"몇대나 맞아야 죽을 지 몰라서" 한 번 두들겨 보기로 했다는 CV-66은 국내 신문지상에 소식 몇 번 뜨고 어떻게 됐는지 알 수가 없네요. 혹시 아시는 분 계시면 알려주시면 감사하겠습니다. </P>

<P>NAVAL AIR STATION PENSACOLA, Fla. (NNS) -- A pierside press conference was held April 18 aboard Naval Air Station Pensacola to provide details of the final preparations for <STRONG>sinking the decommissioned aircraft carrier ex-Oriskany (CVA 34).<BR></STRONG><BR>With the rusting hulk of Oriskany as a backdrop, Capt. Lawrence Jones, Inactive Ships program manager in charge of the Oriskany project and Resolve Marine?s Vice President Denise Johnston answered questions about the sinking.<BR><BR>Resolve-Esco Joint Venture is the contractor for the final work necessary to prep the ship for its ultimate disposition as a reef. This includes pre-ballasting water tanks aboard to get the ship as low in the water as possible and cutting access plates between the engineering spaces to allow for natural flooding.<BR><BR>Weather permitting, <STRONG>the ship will make its final sortie May 15.</STRONG> <STRONG>It will be sunk May 17 as the largest Navy vessel intentionally sunk to become an artificial reef. </STRONG>The proposed site for Oriskany?s final resting place is approximately <STRONG>24 miles off the coast of Pensacola in 212 feet of water.<BR></STRONG><BR>?The largest challenge is ballasting the vessel, due to the fact of her age and some of the piping systems that were cut during the remediation progress,? Johnston said. ?We are on target for our completion date, and we don?t anticipate any problems.?<BR><BR>Massive anchors, each weighing 33,000 pounds, will be used in a four-point mooring system to help ensure that the ship sinks in the desired south-facing orientation. <BR><BR>Navy explosive demolition technicians will place small charges on the ship?s intake valves shortly before the sinking. The ship will flood from inside progressively in order to sink on an even keel.<BR><BR>?The plan is designed to have segregated bulkheads...so that it could go down by the bow,? Jones said. ?We have put everything into this to have it go down even trim, even keel. And that?s how the state wants it...to make a pleasing venue for diving.?<BR><BR>For related news, visit the Naval Air Station Pensacola Navy NewsStand page at <A href="http://www.news.navy.mil/local/naspensacola/" target=_BLANK>www.news.navy.mil/local/naspensacola</A>/. </P><!-------End - STORY PASTE--------->

아메리카함 에 대한 실험 결과는 비밀로 분류한다고 합니다. 알려지면 좋을게 없겠지요.
아깝다 그냥 우리 주징....이라고 할려다 말고 사진 보니...헉,..지금은 갈매기 둥지 신세군요...--; 포레스탈 같은 예비보관 중인 항모들은 정말 돈만 있으면 (얼마나??@,@) 개인적으로 구매해서 우리 해군에 선물로 주고 싶은 생각이...물씬
아메리카에 대한 실험은 2차 폭발을 일으킬 탄약과 연료가 실리지 않은 채로 해서 현실과 100% 맞지는 않습니다. 다만 물 밑의 선체가 어뢰의 파괴력에 얼마나 잘 견디는지는 제대로 알 수 있었겠지요.
1967년의 Forrestal 사고에서는 여러 발의 대형폭탄이 잇달아 터지며 장갑비행갑판에 구멍이 7개가 났고 이 정도면 대함 유도탄 7발 맞은 것과 비슷한 효과입니다.
