Diving the USS Oriskany in Pensacola, FL
Diving the USS Oriskany, the world's largest artificial reef, from Viking Diving in Pensacola, FL. An aircraft carrier built during World War II, sank in 2006 as an artificial reef.
USS Oriskany -- nicknamed Mighty O, and occasionally referred to as the O-boat -- was one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers completed during or shortly after World War II for the United States Navy. The ship was the third US Navy ship to bear the name, and was named for the Revolutionary War Battle of Oriskany.
The history of Oriskany differs considerably from that of her sister ships. Originally designed as a long-hulled Essex-class ship her construction was suspended in 1947. She eventually was commissioned in 1950 after conversion to an updated design called SCB-27, which became the template for modernization of 14 other Essex-class ships.
She operated primarily in the Pacific into the 1970s, earning two battle stars for service in the Korean War, and five for service in the Vietnam War. In 1966 one of the worst shipboard fires since World War II broke out on Oriskany when a magnesium flare was accidentally ignited; forty-four men died in the fire. --- Wikipedia

1963 TOUR OF THE USS ORISKANY (CV-34) PREVIOUSLY UNSEEN 16mm FILM
The actual date of the film is questionable but as near as the camera man can remember it was right around President Kennedy's visit that same year in June. You may see someone you know or served with in this film as there are several shots of enlisted men and Officers at work. There is even a few shots of the Officers Mess with the Captain. Clips of many aircraft, the radio room navigation and the A/C flight control center. This is the only footage I could find with so much of the inside of the carrier filmed.
