A website says that at the end of its career in 1966, the AM was sunk in 20
feet of water in Chesapeake Bay near Lookout Point to serve as a "target"
for Navy jets flying out of Pensacola. There's also a picture of the hulk
in 1985 (nearly two decades later).


Pensacola?
Oceania surely....


My goof. I think a website said Pax River.
