Fox News reported that the SS United States, once described as "the fastest Atlantic ocean liner," is set to become the world's largest artificial reef in a $13.5 million project off the coast of Florida. The account is available in the original Fox News article on the ship's planned reef conversion.
According to the Fox News summary, the project would turn the former liner into an artificial reef. The summary does not say how the ship will be prepared, when work will begin, or which agencies or companies are involved, and those details are not reported here.
The summary gives the project cost as $13.5 million and places the work off the coast of Florida. It does not say whether that figure covers the full project or only part of it. The project is described as set to proceed, but the summary does not say whether it has been approved or fully funded.
The summary says the ship was once the fastest ocean liner on the Atlantic, but it does not provide the basis for that description or lay out the vessel's history.
The Fox News item listed no author in the material available for this report. This account rests on a single source, and the material reviewed did not include independent confirmation of the project details from other outlets.
