From August, 2010.
The SS Montebello, launched in 1921, was a 450-foot-long oil tanker discovered about 15 years ago, 900 feet deep about six miles off the Central California coast near Morro Bay. It was sunk by a Japanese submarine Dece,ber 23, 1941, and still has 3 million gallons of crude oil in its hull.
The problem is that it has started to rust through after all these years.
Sonar images were taken about ten weeks ago and this fall authorities intend to drill into the ship to determine what should be done.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
