SOS - Save our Ship

StarFox · 02-10-09, 04:34 PM

The SS United States, perhaps one of the most famous ocean liners of her time, has been
owned by Norwegian Cruise Lines since 2003. at $1,000 a day in docking fee, she was an
expensive asset wit no income of her own. She is to be listed for sale by Star Cruises
immediately. This ship, built in 1952, and the Flagship of America during her 17 year
Career, she is still the fastest ocean liner ever built, her 1952 records have never been
broken by a ship similar in size.

She is now in grave danger of being scrapped. I Urge anyone and everyone to get in contact
with the US Government. The ship is a prime candidate for a prestige project under Barack
Obama's Public works proposal. Her restoration would provide shipyard jobs restoring the
ship, and provide jobs at whatever city she ends up in as a Hotel, Convention center,
retail outlet, and entertainment complex. She is the Icon of the United States, our
Largest Ocean liner. She must no be aloud to be scrapped, her historic value is too great
