This will likely be the unfitting end to a once proud warship.

Would have been better to leave her in Hawaii, make her into a reef.

The whole thing is just embarrassing.

She was a beautiful ship when she was new.

Shiny and spacious!

Remember the cute little 3"-50 gun on the forepeak back then?

Why is this embarrassing? The ship was crippled by a fire and has been deemed unrepairable(at this point). It would be more embarrassing to have left her in Hawaii and not clean up our own mess.

Amen.
