If there were ever a fund to move her to an enclosed aquarium, I'd donate every dime I could afford. Same with the Requin. And I'd lobby congress to authorize the USS Bowfin to sail under her own power - and give her her authorization to dive.

History is something that is definitely worth my hard earned dollar. I'd even put off my car projects for it.
