SOS - Save our Ship

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
