A 165-ft former US Coast Guard cutter (originally the Cyane, built 1934) intentionally sunk in 1989 as part of San Diego's Wreck Alley artificial reef, about two miles off the Mission Beach jetty. She sits upright and largely intact on sand at about 85 ft, with the superstructure starting near 50 ft, and is carpeted in pink and purple strawberry (corynactis) anemones. Most areas of the wreck except the bilge are accessible to trained divers, and the site is usually marked with a buoy.
