The retired U.S. missile tracking ship Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg arrives in Key West after it was towed from Norfolk, Va. The 523-foot-long ship, that once tracked space launches off Cape Canaveral, and also monitored Soviet missile launches during the Cold War, is to be intentionally sunk off Key West in late May to become an artificial reef in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Estimated project costs to create a new attraction for sport divers and anglers is $8.6 million.
