Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted September 20, 2017 Share #2 Posted September 20, 2017 If the group runs out of money, alternative plans for recycling the ship include turning the United States into an artificial reef rather than scrapping her. Oh for goodness sake! You would think there is some politician out there who could at least scrape together enough government funds to pay for the restoration and upkeep of the ship even though there's obviously not enough interest or profitability to make it viable on its own.

It was a little close to this restoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parr8hed Posted September 20, 2017 Share #8 Posted September 20, 2017 I would purchase it myself if it had 16" gun turrets on it. I have no need for a vessel of that size without 16" guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
