USS The Sullivans taking on water rapidly

That really sucks. Hopefully she can saved.

I give her better odds than the Moskva. Although I suspect we will need to dredge that up as well as it of course has nukes on board.

Rust never sleeps and it's the bane of each and every museum ship out there that's left in the water instead of being permanently dry-docked. Hopefully they can recover The Sullivans. And hopefully the other museum ships will be getting a good underwater inspection of their hulls done sometime soon in case they're in danger of the same thing happening to them too.

From what I’ve been reading, the keepers of The Sullivans were aware there was an issue and they had raised money for repairs. Problem was, there wasn’t a lot of available dock space to do repairs and were waiting for a berth when this disaster happened. It’s the same reason it’s taking so long to repair the USS Texas.

Old ships like that need a lot of expensive care. There were built quickly and not expected to have a service life past a few years, much less eighty. That’s why Parks Canada paid millions of dollars to keep the HMCS Haida afloat; she needed extensive repairs.
