with Captain's Corner
USNS General Hoyt S. Vandenberg (T-AGM-10) (originally named USS General Harry Taylor (AP-145)) was a General G. O. Squier-class transport ship in the United States Navy in World War II named in honor of U.S. Army Chief of Engineers Harry Taylor. She served for a time as army transport USAT General Harry Taylor, and was reacquired by the navy in 1950 as USNS General Harry Taylor (T-AP-145).
The ship was sunk 6 miles (10 km) off the Florida Keys in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
On 12 April 2009, the Vandenberg left the shipyard and began the long tow to Key West. On 22 April 2009 she arrived in the Key West Harbor where she was moored at the East Quay Pier. The sinking took place on Wednesday, 27 May 2009.
At 522ft long the Vandenberg is the second largest artificial reef in the world.
Scuba diving on the shipwrecks of the Florida Keys - The Vandenberg & the Spiegel Grove wrecks, 2017
My wife and I recently dove the wrecks of the USNS Vandenberg (formerly, a transport ship) and the USS Spiegel Grove (formerly, a dock landing ship) in the Florida Keys. These ex-US Navy ships were sunk as artificial reefs approx. 10-15 years ago, and today both of them lie upright on the ocean floor in more than 130 feet of water. Each of these shipwrecks are enormous -- over 500 feet long (approx. 1.5 times the length of a football field) and 70-80 feet wide. It was completely overwhelming to see these steel monsters sitting underneath the ocean, being slowly reclaimed by nature and being transformed into what today are among the largest artificial reefs in the world.
The dives were in the range of 80-100 feet depth (for the most part). There was a mild current at the sites and the visibility was about 30-40 feet. Water temperature was around 78 degrees.
The videos were captured by my wife using a GoPro Hero 4 silver with a Black Molly 3 video light (Big Blue) mounted on a Cam Dive tray.
Thanks to our dive guides : Cory at Rainbow Reef Dive Center, Key Largo and Tony at Captain's Corner Dive Center, Key West.

The Vandenberg Wreck Dive Key West, FL
USNS General Hoyt S. Vandenberg belonged to the US Navy during WWII and was later transferred to the US Air Force. She was used as a transport ship during WWII and her satellite disk was used to track missiles during the Cold War. She was decommissioned in the 80's and sunk off of Key West, FL in 2009 to become the worlds second largest artificial reef. She now sits in 120' of water about 7 miles SW off the coast of KW in the Atlantic Ocean. These are highlights of my second dive on this ship. I am a certified PADI Rescue Diver and my dive partner is a former Rescue Diver for the US Navy, both of us have 20 years experience diving. My good friend, dive partner and videographer is Charles Meier. This is an *Advanced and technical dive and NOT for beginner divers. It is however, an excellent dive!! It can be dangerous due to the deep water it sits in, and often times, very strong ocean currents. Weather and water conditions in the open ocean can also change quickly. The treacherous nature of this dive has unfortunately led to the deaths of a few divers so, I advise going with a local guide and dive shop. My partner and I dove this wreck from his boat and alone, so were the only two divers on the wreck in this video. Conditions were not the best, visibility was fair and the current was very strong on this day. The murky water does however, lend to the mystery, ambience and spookiness of this dive!!Charles has a Charter Boat in Key West if you would like to get out on the water while you are there (he does not do dive trips) please visit damntherockscharters.com
