sad to hear about the death of those people. I will remember that when i visit this wreck next year and pay my respects. Coming from England specifically for this dive and the vandenberg. Great video :)

@collinsworth1982 Late reply, but anyway. Sound waves require a medium to travel through. This is why you don't hear sounds in space. Sounds travel in different pressures of air, depending on the matter around to vibrate through. But being under water, the sound from the bell has even more medium to travel through, making it in fact louder.
I'm a diver and canadian soldier, nice tribute to all the fallen soldiers, I'm glad to see that the soldiers of the past are still not forgotten. Well done video....
An accident with a flare pistol/gun caused a massive fire below decks which cost over 40 lives of the crew. With lead paint and plastics everywhere most victims suffocated in toxic fumes before burning to unrecognisable corpses.
Very nice tribute,..being a ex squid myself, I find this way of retirement much more fitting then having her cut up in little pieces. she gave us squids a place to sleep while above the water, now she gives squids a place to live beneath.
It's haunting to see shipwrecks and planes on the bottom of the ocean. I always feel like they shouldn't be there. It's sad, but your service was beautiful.
Very well done. A really nice follow-on to the sinking video. Rather cool to use the same music as my sinking video. Well done! Thanks for posting this.

She was sunk as an artificial reef. A great use of an American treasure IMNSHO.

Well done! Planning a dive there in a month or so. Hopefully the visibility will be as good.
God bless the fallen, the men who gave all for so many that appreciate little.

Dad was on the Oriskany. He misses her like i'm sure all the crew members do. It's nice to see memories of her on videos such as this. Great stuff

Though it's sunk I wonder if there are any air pockets anywhere inside.

A fitting tribute to the fallen.
For the unintiated who've just found this:
An accident with a flare pistol/gun caused a massive fire below decks which cost over 40 lives of the crew. With lead paint and plastics everywhere most victims suffocated in toxic fumes before burning to unrecognisable corpses.
So please be resepctfull of comments.

Awesome video. I especially loved the playing of "eternal father strong to save (Navy Hymn) and "Anchors Aweigh"
It makes me proud to be serving in the Navy.
