CAPE MAY, N.J. (AP) -- A former Navy destroyer will get a new purpose as an artificial reef off the coast of the Eastern U.S.
The sinking is scheduled for Wednesday. The ship's been prepared for it at a Philadelphia shipyard.
Its resting spot is to be in the Del-Jersey-Land reef created by the states of Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey. It's about 26 miles off the Indian River Inlet in Delaware; Ocean City, Md., and Cape May, N.J.

The Radford was a ship that served the U.S. well over her life, and even tried to escape her scrapping fate by breaking away from the tug that was towing her to the scrapyards. I'm glad that she's getting a new life as a reef - she'll be the new home to millions.
Hey JR, your comment was rejected. Still not man enough to use your name. How's that lip?
