From the May 24, 2012, Sand Paper.
The former USCG "A" class cutter Mohawk (WPG-78) will be sunk 28 nautical miles west of Redfish Pass in the Gulf of Mexico. It is the largest ship to be scuttled in Lee County's Artificial Reef Program.
Plans are to sink it in July 2012 after the ship has been cleaned and gutted.
It was built in Wilmington, Delaware 78 years ago for $500,000 and served during World War II.

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.
