N.J. company to sink ship off Fla. coast

A World War II-vintage ship that served in the Cold War will be sunk off of Florida's Key West as an artificial reef.

Reefmakers, a Moorestown, N.J.-based company that creates artificial reefs, will sink the 530-foot General Hoyt S. Vandenberg in 140 feet of water next spring.
