A battle frozen on the seabed to 19 decommissioned military vehicles in formation, Chieftain tanks, an M42 anti-aircraft gun, troop carriers, an ambulance, a crane and a combat helicopter, arranged as if advancing across the sand. Sunk in July 2019 by the Jordanian Army and the Aqaba Special Economic Zone as the world's first underwater military museum, deliberately placed in barren sand (not on live coral) to grow new reef and pull divers off the fragile fringing reefs. Anchorage: Aqaba Marine Park moorings; Aqaba marina nearby. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally.
