The Wreck of the USS Plainview (AGEH-1), Experimental Hydrofoil

Sitting on the foggy banks of the Columbia River is the derelict hulk of the USS Plainview, launched in 1965. The Plainview is an experimental vessel called a Hydrofoil, in a way, a cross between a boat and an airplane. Today, the ship is severed, with her stern cut clean off and scrapped. She sits on the riverbank, significantly submerged at high tide.
