Wreck
In recent years, the submerged wreck, the top of which is only 50 ft (15 m) below the surface, has become a scuba diving destination, one of only three carrier wrecks accessible to recreational divers. (The others are the Oriskany, in the Gulf of Mexico, and HMS Hermes, off Batticaloa in Sri Lanka.) After a hiatus of several years, dive trips began in 2011.Coordinates: 11°34′53.33″N 165°29′54.78″E / 11.5814806°N 165.49855°E / 11.5814806; 165.49855
