The Pueblo skin is as thin as paper by now
The USS Forestall was sold for a penny and I think another Ship recently for scrap for a penny! What does this fool need a ship for a museum piece at his library? A Pebble in the Sand!
“The Pueblo skin is as thin as paper by now”
A couple of years ago the battleship Texas (on permanent display) developed a slow leak. A female diver went over the side and was feeling for the leak. (Mind you, this is in the armored part intended to resist incoming shells.) She inadvertently put her hand through the hull opening a fist-sized leak.
They are planning on backfilling around the hull so it will not be in the water anymore.
