Commercial Tugboats are uses to nudge the decommissioned US Navy (USN) Intrepid Class Aircraft Carrier USS ORISKANY (CV 34) away from the pier, as it prepares to get underway, after undergoing final preparations for its scheduled sinking at Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola, Florida (FL). The ORISKANY will be towed 22-miles south of Pensacola in approximately 212-ft. of water where it will become the largest ship ever intentionally sunk as an artificial reef. After ORISKANY reaches the bottom, ownership of the vessel will transfer from the USN to the State of Florida

Summary

Nine barges loaded with coal are pinned against the upper McAlpine Dam on the Ohio River in Louisville, Kentucky following an incident which occurred Tuesday, Dec. 25 when the towing vessel struck the nearby Clark Memorial Bridge causing the barges to break free. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District, U.S. Coast Guard Sector Ohio Valley, and the navigation industry continue their joint response to safely and efficiently salvage the remaining barges, most of which have capsized.
