    Yeah but the bot is stripped and ready for sinking..
    This comment thingy is about preserving it, or did I get that wrong?
    Maybe she could have been preserved 30 years ago and turned into a huge museum piece, but that train has left the station.o_O

    Yeah, maybe it's just false hope. I know: Trump could turn it into a floating ballroom.:p

    Oh the irony... the United States is sinking! She has some tremendous stats given the era she was built in. 240,000 horspower. Capable of hitting 45 mph.
