The history of Oriskany differs considerably from that of her sister ships. Her construction was suspended in 1946. She eventually was commissioned in 1950 after conversion to an updated design called SCB-27. (“27-Charlie”), which became the template for modernization of 14 other Essex -class ships. She operated primarily in the Pacific into the 1970s, earning two battle stars. For service in the Korean War. And five for service in the Vietnam War. In 1966, one of the worst shipboard fires since World War II broke out on Oriskany when a magnesium. Flare was accidentally ignited; forty-four men died in the fire. S post-service history also differs considerably from that of her sister ships. In 2004, it was decided to sink her as an artificial reef. Off the coast of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico. After much environmental review and remediation to remove toxic substances, she was carefully sunk in May 2006, settling in an upright position at a depth accessible to recreational divers. As of 2008, Oriskany is the largest vessel ever sunk to make a reef.
