SOS - Save our Ship

[Rockstar]

She must no be aloud <allowed> to be scrapped, her historic value is too great

Actually I thought it was already razor blades, shows how much I know.

Too bad everyone is looking for Uncle to take care of them now. IMO it needs to either support itself ie turning it into a park. And if you can't do it then donate that scow to the artificial reef program. I got my own boat to maintain and it's a pain in the arse without having to support someone elses 'prestige' project with my money.

On paper at least, the ship could turn back the cost of restoration. and if Grants and donations are factored in, the cost drops. Eventually, the ship would end up like the Queen Mary, and hopefully in the end turn a profit. The problem I always had with the Queen Mary was that the full space available was never used, 3/4 of the ship is empty and unused. The Untied States is smaller then the Queen Mary, but her interiors have also been stripped, meaning the cost of remodeling the ship will be lower then other ships that have been preserved (such as the Queen Mary, Rotterdam, and the future preservation of the Kungsholm)

So, if everything was done properly, the ship could eventually pay back both the cost of restoration, and make a profit once the dept is paid off. If I had the money to do it, I would. I am not that lucky
