Ombiglio, I would definitely agree the Big U would be better off reefed than scrapped. My eye rolling was mainly at the contempt in testcase's post. The SSUS represents the pinnacle of American shipbuilding and is most certainly historic. The problem, of course, is finding a way for her to earn her keep in the future. I'm well aware that that might not be possible but I'm happy for now that the seller stipulates non-demolition.
