They are talking about scrapping the USS Olympia or sinking it as a reef.......

I'm dumbfounded these douches are the same *holes that let the Big E go to the cutters Hey I have an Idea, why don't they scrap out the metal from Arizona & Utah Just leave a some stone memorial at the bottom of pearl so the future will know where the ships were. they say the metal will be gone in a few years anyway.................

Typical internet discussion where many people show their intollerance and ignorance.

I do like preserved ships, one of the few places where the future folks can see an era of ships and men of steel where a real understanding of "how things work" was critical.

Last of her breed, it would be sad indeed. The officials in Washington making their millions will not help, nor will the lawyers. (I repeat myself!) I enjoyed a few times aboard her.

Another sad footnote in the article, a former president of the Seaport bilked the organization out of $1 million.

Scumbags are everywhere. I'm sure he will spend no prison time.:bump:
