    • For decades, the SS United States survived one failed rescue plan after another. Now its intended final voyage is running ahead of schedule: the liner has left Mobile, Alabama, under tow, and Okaloosa County has brought forward the operation to sink it off Florida as an artificial reef. Forecast heavy winds on Thursday have shortened the remaining timetable for a ship whose future was argued over for years.
