The Sinking of the Oriskany
The USS Oriskany has an aircraft carrier in service 1950 – 1975. She led a brave and long life, which you can read more about at wikipedia.
Here next, and final mission is to serve as a reef for sea creatures 24 miles off the coast of Pensacol, Florida. The link below is to a photo set of her sinking.

So…who had the cajones to ride on that small boat as it sank beneath it? How cool would that have been?
