Considered a hull loss at this point.

Is it too early to speculate where it will end up after the investigation?

-Leave it in a hangar for a decade or two before quietly sending it to the boneyard to be cannibalized for parts.

-Renumber it and send it to an outdoor museum, somewhere away from the media "thirty mile zone", such as Fallon Naval Air Station in Nevada.

-Lie through their teeth, cover up the costs, and pay a fortune to restore it and return it to service in order to pretend that it was a 'minor incident'.
