[NSAWC1]

Thee USS America, a steam powered cattier commisioned
in January 1965 and the first and only such ship to
land a U-2, was sunk off the coast of North Carolina
last month.
Decommissioned in August 1996, the 84,000 ton carrier

25 day period by the Navy before it sank in more than
6000' of water about 60 miles off shore.
