USS Strength (Wreck)
★★★★☆
(405)
USS Strength, a World War II minesweeper, saw action off Iwo Jima and Okinawa where she survived both a midget submarine attack and a kamikaze raid. Later in life, Strength served as a training hulk for Navy salvage divers in Washington, D.C., and then Panama City.
At less than 80 feet, divers can easily swim between the two sections of Strength’s hull where her bow separated from the rest of the ship.
