I was poking around on Google Earth and I found something interesting at Brownsville, Texas.
It is at 25°57'53.90"N, 97°21'55.76"W it looks WW2 era, and it looks cruiser size or bigger, anyone have any ideas? |

From Wikipedia - USS Des Moines
After an attempt to turn her into a museum ship in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, failed, she was towed to Brownsville, Texas, for scrapping, and arrived there September 7. By July 2007, she had been completely broken up. Her status officially changed to "disposed of by scrapping, dismantling" on August 16, 2007. |
