Philadelphia already has the U.S.S. Olympia, Commodore Dewey's flag ship from the Spanish American War, the USS Becuna, a WWII submarine, and the Moshulu, a windjammer from 1904. Across the river is the USS New Jersey in Camden. So, adding the SS United States would add to an already impressive fleet of museum ships in the port area. Our government wastes money in so many wrong ways, they should find money to save this historic ship, which still holds the record for the fastest trans-Atlantic crossing.
