USS San Diego lies off Cherry Grove on Fire Island, New York in 110 feet of water. The surrounding location is home to a large number of shipwrecks including the SS Oregon, a Cunard Liner lost in a collision in 1886.
an Diego's essential mission was the escort of convoys through the first dangerous leg of their passages to Europe. Based on Tompkinsville, N.Y., and Halifax, N.S., she operated in the weather-torn, submarine-infested North Atlantic safely convoying all of her charges to the ocean escort. On 19 July 1918, bound from Portsmouth, N.H., to New York, San Diego was torpedoed by the German submarine U-156 southeast of Fire Island. The cruiser sank in 28 minutes with the loss of 6 lives, the only major warship lost by the United States in World War I.
The San Diego is a popular diving site well documented and heavily visited. The surrounding waters are abundant in large marine life. Splays in the wreck offer protection to anenomies, lobsters and fish.
