Imagery released shows SS United States upright on the bottom!
Inside the 8-Hour Sinking of SS United States
🚢The 8-Hour Delay: Why the scuttling operation took far longer than planned and how William Francis Gibbs' robust naval architecture resisted rapid flooding.
🚢The Port List Analysis: Breaking down the dramatic footage showing the vessel listing heavily to port, air venting from portholes, and the stern settling first into 180 feet of water.
🚢Is She Sitting Upright? Reviewing Okaloosa County's initial sonar and ROV survey reports versus the pending physical dive inspections by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
🚢Passing in the Night: The somber coincidence of SS United States passing the historic aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN-65) en route to scrap in Mobile.
🚢Recreational Diving Impact: What an uneven keel or unexpected resting depth would mean for PADI recreational diver access at the 60-foot deck limit.
🚢A Legacy Remembered: Comparing the fate of SS United States to the tragic grounding of SS America and what this moment symbolizes for the American maritime industry.

Wow! That was actually quite sad! The ship quickly listed & it only took a few minutes before it was gone.
Seen the SS United States many times sitting there at a South Philly pier, hoped it would be saved.
Now it’s at the bottom of the Gulf. Goodbye

SS United States scuttling has begun.
Seacocks open. Water rising through the hull.

You and the rest of the shameful @ScotTories are an absolute disgrace, using the countless fallen Scottish service personnel that have given their lives in various global conflicts as political pawns 😔 Hang your collective heads in shame
And dishonest Tory MPs spreading lies @HarrietCross_MP, @LincolnJopp
Literally a photograph of the FM placing a wreath. Even a memorial for the war dead won’t stop unionists crawling through the gutter.

Opposition politicians whose UK governments have done nothing to help war veterans in decades yet spend approx. 2 weeks a year virtue signalling about the men they used up and discarded onto the scrap heap.

The photograph on that article showing the First Minister commemorating Remembrance Sunday confirms the ridiculousness of attempts to suggest the Scottish Government failed to do so.

A lot of us had tears in our eyes when we watched the finale to the brilliant historical sitcom, Blackadder. For me it has the same effect today, and so it should.
Lest we forget.

Very disingenuous this post. Remembrance sunday was clearly recognised through official government channels yesterday. Perhaps petty party politics shouldn't be played when it comes to serious issues like Remembrance Sunday? That would be a good way to honour memories.

🇵🇱 Jakub Kulik – bohater pochodzi z Bielska-Białej. Nasz druh. Nasz policjant.
Wczoraj w Krakowie, na Rynku, dwóch policjantów stanęło oko w oko z uzbrojonym napastnikiem. Nie mieli karabinu, hełmu ani kamizelki kuloodpornej. Mieli tylko służbowe pistolety i coś, czego nie da się wydać rozkazem – odwagę.
Jednym z nich był starszy posterunkowy Jakub Kulik.
Facet z Bielska-Białej. Były żołnierz 6. Brygady Powietrznodesantowej. Druh OSP Leszczyny.
Dostał kilka postrzałów. Ma niesprawne jedno płuco. Walczy o życie 😞
Patrzę na to zdjęcie – młody chłopak w mundurze strażackim, z podpisem „dh Kulik Jakub” – i myślę, że właśnie tacy ludzie noszą ten mundur. Nie dla lajków. Nie dla awansów. Dla innych.
Cała Polska powinna dziś trzymać za niego kciuki.
A kto może – niech odda krew grupy AB Rh+, zaznaczając, że dla Jakuba Kulika.
Wracaj do zdrowia, druhu.
Wracaj do zdrowia, policjancie.
Jesteśmy z Tobą.
Cześć i chwała Bohaterom. 🇵🇱
No WASPI women on the panel? No because you are bored with them now - dropped like a stone!
At @ScottishLabour women’s conference, speaking with brilliant panellists from @ScotCoopParty, @LabourWomensNet and @ElectHer_UK on supporting women in politics.

What an embarrassment!!
It’s been wonderful to see @andyburnham in Scotland 🏴 over the past week, alongside the Sec. of State for Scotland @D_G_Alexander & our new Scottish Leader @michaeljmarra - and reaching out to the Scottish Gov. with an offer to work together- benefiting the constituency that I represent of #PaisleyRenfrewshireNorth
