7:42 Aristotle Onassis superyacht was not a US Destroyer it was a Canadian river-class frigate called HMCS Stormont, renamed Christina O. It's a beautiful ship now and definitely had a more notable post war career as a superyacht, such as the wedding reception of Grace Kelly and the prince of Monaco was on the ship. Other visitors include Winston Churchill, Kennedy, Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, and the list goes on, it's so long it has a seperate section in the Wikipedia page.

1:40:28 I think we should also point out that the movie of the Darkest Hour is total fiction, and even in that scene they disrespect the sacrifice as they say "25,000" casualties when in total it was 250,000 casualties on the Entente side alone. My great grandfather (British contingent) was at Gallipoli and was injured four different times once seeing his best friend blown up next to him and another time getting his finger shot off. Luckily he survived that somme and won a military medal at Passchendale for taking out a German machine gun nest.

@thevictoryoverhimself7298 money, cash poor museums (managed by people who's job isn't to do with history itself) have to do what will be manageable and affordable, as mad as it seems to us. Espcially in the 20th century, it has changed recently. But do remember the US has 330 million people to visit their ships and even then half of them are falling to pieces, we have 66 million people, so there is less money to go around.
