  • @SouthPortlandKK Agreed! the legacy of brave men who have served on this ship as well as the courage of the man who was its namesake should be enshrined and preserved as a museum.

  • this ship might come to stay in portland, maine! if not, its going to be scrapped.. the city is debating over whether to welcome it or not because it will take up a lot of room in the harbor and may be an "eye sore". However, they are saying that the ship can be made into a museum and attract tourists and create jobs. Lets all hope it goes to portland!

  • awesome.
