A United States coastguard cutter of some 100 m, deliberately sunk in 1987 alongside the USCGC Bibb to create artificial reefs. She sits upright, with the upper decks accessible at around 21 m. She lies in open water, so current is the norm.

A United States coastguard cutter sunk in 1987 as an artificial reef; one of the most popular wrecks in Key Largo.
Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (designated on 16 November 1990; protects 4,539 square miles)
The Bibb, her sister ship, came to rest on her starboard side with the upper rail at around 29 m and is reserved for advanced divers: two almost identical ships sunk at the same time, with very different levels of difficulty depending on how they landed.
