I wonder why nobody thought of this before? Oh wait, they did! They cut the USS Scorpion in two, inserted a missile compartment, and renamed it USS George Washington.

was that the Scorpion, or the Shark they did that to? The time I was on Shark, we were always told our original keel and hull pieces went to make the GW, maybe the sealore was wrong! lol
