USS New York

The USS New York, an 8150-ton armored cruiser built in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was commissioned in August 1893. The ship served in the Philippine-American war, the Chinese Revolution, and WWI. The ship was decommissioned in 1931 to avoid the risk of capture by the Japanese and stayed in Subic Bay for the next ten years. Now it has been transformed into an artificial reef and lies on its port side. The wreck is pretty much intact, although there is damage to the starboard side. Five decks are of interest. This dive site is more suitable for experienced divers, as for beginner divers - they can enjoy the view of the wreck, and the marine life around the wreck.
