USS Indiana
Part of the US Navy, the USS Indiana was massive. It was as strong as could be, but it still sunk in the Chesapeake Bay toward the end of 1920. People found the wreckage and chose to scrap the metal.
USS Massachusetts
Just a few months later, in January 1921, the USS Massachusetts sunk, too. However, it had been off the Florida’s Pensacola coast. The Navy actually sunk it to become an artificial reef, and various species live in it now.
