| Aloha, USS Kittiwake (ASR-13) |
| 2011-01-09 |
| "After an epic seven years in the making, the Kittiwake, the former US submarine rescue vessel, has finally made it to her new home: The seabed off Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman where she has become the newest artificial reef in the Caribbean. Yesterday, the USS Kittiwake met her final resting place in the warm, clear water off Grand Cayman." |

| #3 ODD I served on the USS Amphion AR 13 it's odd that a USN ship will share it's number with another. (Causes confusion) |

| #2 Wonder why the screw wasn't pulled and will the anchors/chain now be salvaged? |

| #1 As sad as it is to see such a ship scuttled, in short order it will produce a profusion of sea life and fish, encouraging both fishing and diving, which in turn makes sailors. |
