Summary edit

Description
English: The retired U.S. Navy Mine Countermeasures Ship USS Ozark (MCS-2), circa 1979. Ozark was decommissioned and struck from the Naval Register on 1 April 1974 and towed to Destin, Florida (USA). She was anchored there while being used as a target by the U.S. Air Force from Eglin Air Force Base, Florida (USA). Ozark was hit multiple times with large practice (non-explosive) bombs but was not sunk. In September 1979, Ozark was ripped loose from her anchorage by Hurricane Frederic and driven onto the beach near Perdido Key, Florida. She finally sank in 1981 after she as accidentially hit with an AGM-65 Maverick missile.
