Members asked me, why is the USS Arizona and the USS Utah not in the VSC, well,, I removed them because of the many placemarks around them. more members ask for it by sending me PM`s, so here it is, Famous Shipwrecks , on request.. The, USS Arizona , USS Utah and I add the SS America , the last one because of the many placemarks around the ship,, so it must be famous  For the placemarks I used the original "first" post, you can find the names and link to the OP in the placemark.
I also changed the layout, and add more links to it. In the "Famous Shipwreck" folder you find more links to the ships, (click picture).
If you think, "this is a Famous Shipwreck " , send me a PM, and tell me why you think this is a Famous Shipwreck .
So for now,,,,
USS Arizona 
USS Utah
SS America 
Layout of the placemarks 
Have fun
