It’s sad that the government wastes so much money on crap, but can’t find a decent home for this ship, which it paid to build. It still holds the record for the fastest trans-Atlantic crossing. Sad.

Not much demand for retired ocean liner tourism. An artificial reef that people will be able to enjoy for generations to come is a much better resting place than sending her to the breakers.
