There is an old Navy lab on the SW side of Diamond Island. Some other folks have posted the history of the place here, so my background info might be inaccurate, but apparently it was in operation into the 60s. Today, there's all sorts of stuff left over -- most of it fairly shallow. The Navy reportedly did testing of various systems there, and left behind what tracks, testing platforms, and all manner of cable, tubing, and a very interesting series of concrete pillars. I dove the site twice last year -- once with Dive Winni and another time with Senter Cove Guy (from this forum). Haven't found everything -- including the reported "ship," but it's an interesting area to dive. There's also a nice cabin cruiser on the bottom on the SW side -- in about 54' and marked on the Bizer charts.
