overly patriotic and simple minded are quite often two sides of the same medal...;-)
Anyway - I wished the ship could be saved and restored as a museum or whatever properly - but indeed I fear it is too late. Would be happy if I was wrong in this point.

@j241865 Sorry to disillusion you but it was not the airlines that killed the United States, it was the ignorant over unionised crew that brought about her end. And, because they were too stupid to see it, they destroyed their own jobs as well.

hey in mid 2010 Gerry Lenfest donated over $5 million to saving the ship and the US conservation saved it by buying it right out from under numerous scrapyard offers. they now have plans to build on this purchase possibly making it a waterfront museum / restaurants / retail / hotel rather than putting it to see which would cost a LOT more money. who knows but at least shes safe now, thats some breathing room. maybe someday someone can afford to put her to sea again. THANK YOU MR. LENFEST

It would be a damn shame to let her go to waste, I would be GLAD to pay 3 or 4k to take a cruise, no imagine, if there were others like me, how long would it take for an investment house to make its money back? Too bad China owns it with NCL.

In the 21st Century American Pride has shrunk to the domestic sports arena.
This ship is indicative of that.
