Breaking News! New high level support for Vandenberg Click Here

 
News Flash!!

Work begins at the prestigious Stevens Institute of Technology Davidson Lab.

Davidson is beginning a study which will use a model of Vandenberg in a test tank to create a final  plan for towing, cutting and scuttling the ship to ensure ideal placement and orientation.

At over 520 feet and 13,000 tons, this will be the largest ship ever intentionally sunk for this purpose. This ship will become a world-class diving destination, but it will also offer many other benefits to the environment and to education and research. Meticulously cleaned and prepared, the vessel will become a habitat and breeding site for countless marine species. The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary strongly supports this purpose. Our local Florida Keys Community College has built curriculum and is conducting classes around the monitoring of reef development at the site. Distance learning projects are planned to bring live lessons from the Vandenberg into classrooms nationwide via the internet.
