USAT Liberty was a United States Army cargo ship torpedoed by Japanese submarine I-166 in January 1942 and beached on the island of Bali, Indonesia. She had been built as a Design 1037 ship for the United States Shipping Board in World War I and had served in the United States Navy in that war as animal transport USS Liberty (ID-3461). She was also notable as the first ship constructed at Federal Shipbuilding, Kearny, New Jersey. In 1963 a volcanic eruption moved the ship off the beach, and Liberty's wreck is now a popular dive site. Liberty′s wreck rests in about 30 metres (100 ft) of water off Tulamben, Bali, Indonesia. The highest point of the wreck is at a depth of about 5 metres (16 ft) and the lowest point sits at about 30 metres (100 ft).The wreck is a great display of how nature creates life everywhere and great coral formations can be observed on the wreck′s guns.

USAT Liberty in Tulamben is the best dive site in Bali. A large wreck turned reef accessible as a shore dive in 8-22m of water; great day and night dive.
