Terrific presentation! Here's some good news: there's a celebration tonight at Pier 82, Columbus Blvd. Philadelphia to celebrate the 58th anniversary of the ship's maiden voyage and to announce the donation of $5.8 million from Gerry Lenfest to enable the SS United States Conservancy to purchase this great ship.
@pieman97405 The ship is no longer seaworthy, so thats a bad idea. Check out the effort to save the ship. Look for the SS United States Foundation or SS United States Conservancy. =)
I sailed on her in 1961 from New York to Germany. What a Ship she was, what a´n unforgettable experience to sail the fastest Cruise Ship in the World. Sad to see her dying a slow death.
Great Video with much dedication, Thanks for sharing
You guys already heard it? she's going to sail again!!! or she is going to be just like the Queen Mary and the SS Rotterdam. however, she's saved!!!

If you could get the props back on, and a crew together, my money is on you could sail her right out of there and into "safer waters."
Anyone want to try to do this?

Seaworthy she isn't, but I stand by that if you could get the props back on you could sail her. The real question is, how far before you sunk.
I know of the ongoing effort to save her, and I hope they do.

@pieman97405, I don't think the engines are in working order after so many years...

@pieman97405 Good God! Do you know how much OIL it
would take to fire up those huge turbines enough to even
back that colossus out of the harbor? It LOST MONEY from
its very first trip back when diesel oil was 6 cents per gallon.
Somewhere you can find the specs on the United States'
engines and fuel consumption. It was designed to have
200,000 horsepower but on sea trials came closer to
300,000. It was standby for the Navy as a possible troop
ship. Interior was TACKY but fireproof.
