December 2006 the Launch of the Uss Spiegel Grove DECEMBER 2006 THE LAUNCH OF THE USS SPIEGEL GROVE NOVEMBER 10, 1955 USS SPIEGEL GROVE The bow of the USS Spiegel Grove poses proudly prior to its launch by the Ingalls Shipbuilding Corporation at Pascagoula, Mississippi. Built for the U. S. Navy, the USS Spiegel Grove was named for the Fremont, Ohio, estate of President Rutherford B. Hayes. The 510-foot long LSD-32 was a landing ship dock designed to perform repair operations, assault landings, mine sweeper tending, and to transport troops and equipment.

(Official U.S. Navy Photograph from the Admiral Webb C. Hayes Photograph Collection) History: The USS Spiegel Grove was commissioned on June 8, 1956, Captain S. Filippone in command. She sailed for Hampton Roads and then headed for Guantanamo Bay on her shakedown cruise, returning September 15, 1956. In November, the USS Spiegel Grove participated in amphibious exercises off Onslow Beach, North Carolina. In January 1957, she joined the Transport Amphibious Squadron and sailed for Morehead City, North Carolina. With elements of the 6th Marines, she joined the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean. In November, she transported Army troops to Labrador. In January of 1958, the USS Spiegel Grove, once again, was deployed with the 6th Fleet on an extended tour. She became part of the Fast Squadron the following October. In 1959 and 1960, she participated in numerous operations along the east coast and in the Caribbean. She stood out of Norfolk in April 1961 as part of the "Solant Amity II" good-will tour to Africa, carrying tons of medical and disaster relief supplies, food, toys, seed, and books. In May of 1962, the USS Spiegel Grove took part in operations supporting Malcolm Scott Carpenter's manned space flight. In January, the LSD made her second goodwill voyage to Africa, steaming over 21,000 miles and visiting 9 countries. The USS Spiegel Grove spent the greater part of her active service particpating in amphibious exercises along the eastern seaboard and in the Caribbean. She was once again deployed with the 6th Fleet in 1964, 1966 and 1967, and in 1971 to 1974. The USS Spiegel Grove participated in operation "Fluid Drive" - the evacuation of Lebanon. One hundred ten Americans and 166 foreign nationals were evacuated to the USS Spiegel Grove. In January 1980, the USS Spiegel Grove was again deployed to the Mediterranean. Later, she performed numerous exercises with ships from nine NATO countries and additional exercises with the British Navy and the Honduran Army. In 1987, the USS Spiegel Grove was once again deployed to the Mediterranean during the mining of the Persian Gulf by Iran. The USS Spiegel Grove was decommissioned in 1989. In 1994, she was towed to the James River where she became part of the "mothball fleet" at Newport News. Webb C. Hayes, Martha Baker Hayes, Christening of the USS Spiegel Grove Mrs. Webb C. (Martha Baker) Hayes christens the USS Spiegel Grove on November 10, 1955, as Webb C. Hayes looks on. Upon launching the vessel, Mrs. Hayes said, "She is the most beautiful ship I have ever seen and I feel responsible for her." (Official U.S. Navy Photograph from the Admiral Webb C.

Key Largo USS Spiegel Grove USS Spiegel Grove as she appears today lying on the ocean floor, 6 miles off Key Largo (Photograph courtesy of Clark Anderson Aquaimages made available through Creative Commons) In 1998, title to the USS Spiegel Grove passed from the Maritime Administration to the state of Florida. She was to be used as the backbone of a coral reef ecosystem off Key Largo. After financial and legal problems, an expensive cleanup, and structural modifications, the USS Spiegel Grove was ready for her May 17, 2002 public sinking. Sometime during the previous night, the USS Spiegel Grove surrendered to the sea on her own terms. Unfortunately, she sank vertically and stood straight out of the water upside down, creating a navigational hazard. On June 11, 2002, a salvage company "righted" the USS Spiegel Grove by turning the vessel to her starboard side. This was to be her final resting place and orientation, lying in 130 feet of water near the Dixie Shoals. But it took Hurricane Dennis to fix what man could not. In July 2005, the storm's waves and currents flipped the vessel over, setting her to rest on her keel on the ocean floor - as originally planned! Until the sinking of the USS Oriskany near Pensacola (May 2006), the USS Spiegel Grove was the largest ship ever intentionally sunk. She served as the largest artificial reef in existence. .

Because artificial reef development in Florida works with, and depends upon, a network of local partners, inter-county coordina- tion and communication is critical to ensure successful implementation of statewide strate- gic objectives for artificial reef development.

  • SCUBA Diving Training at Marion Military Institute SCUBA Tigers FAQ Document AY 2013-2014
    SCUBA Diving Training at Marion Military Institute SCUBA Tigers FAQ Document AY 2013-2014 The following information is provided to acquaint MMI cadets with opportunities in SCUBA training at the Institute. This is the second year for SCUBA lessons and open water certification at MMI. Last September the first group of MMI SCUBA Tigers started their training with Instructional Staff of Southern Skin Divers Supply (SSDS), MMI’s partner in SCUBA training and recreational diving. After four weeks of training at MMI facilities 21 Cadets earned their Scuba Schools International (SSI) Open- Water Certification during their check dives at Morrison Springs and St. Andrews Jetties, FL. After that, the newly certified divers went drift diving and swam with the Manatees (picture to the Left) in the Rainbow River and Crystal River, FL. Many took advantage of inshore wreck trips out of Panama City and then learned about the benefits of Enriched Air NITROX and harvested some Flounder in the Winter. Their progression led to diving several wrecks off the coast of Alabama and began the work of helping to eradicate the invasive lionfish population. The MMI Scuba Tigers made their final dives this Spring off the shores of Orange Beach, AL on a sunken Navy Tug followed by the air craft carrier, USS Oriskany (the “Mighty O”) which is the largest man-mad reef in the world. Do I need to be a strong swimmer to take scuba lessons? Not necessarily, but you do need to be comfortable in the water and have moderate – good swim skills. Safety always comes first in SCUBA and safe SCUBA is all about the equipment.
