  1. That's a dumb use of land. It now has no income generation...

  2. It's a poor investment. And frankly is historical value is minimal. There are far more deserving projects just right up the river.

  3. People been pushing that same pipe dream ever since she's been here... it's time to put this thing out of its misery and taking up space here.

  4.  @timpetta2974  The USS Olympia, USS Becuna and USS New Jersey.

  5. You kind of skipped over the other big Las Vegas influence? Howard Hughes.... with him coming into the picture in the late 60s; the mob influence began to wane. And the corporate money starts coming in.

  6. In the case of Las Vegas, Sports is the new thing. They already have hockey, football, racing and soon baseball.

  7. That ship has sailed over the years many times. She has no functional value. It's an empty Hulk that's taken up dock space.

  8. Not really. These ships no longer have useful service lives. Nor do they have systems compatible with the current Fleet.

  9. The Conservancy is a joke. How about plans to pay the docking fee?

  11.  @mattyrothcrewoffroadgarage8333  they no longer have a useful service life. You either scrap them or sink them.

  12.  @maxant4285  it would be a stupid order. What's the point?

  13. Do you people have anything better to post? I really don't need 50 posts saying the same darn thing.

  14. Vegas has been corporate for decades.

  15. I would disagree in your characterization. While the ship had long as a stinger service. It was one of many that did so. It was Surplus to requirements.

  16. Absolutely not happening.

  17.  @Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent  no, I'm just a reality check.✔️ It has no economical value and minor historical value. This ship has been stuck here in Philadelphia pushing 30 years now. And every single scheme, idea, and proposed what if has failed.

  18. Are you done ranting? It's really not necessary to have 50 people ranting about really trivial things.

  19.  @Fitzwalrus06  you are free to make your own video on the topic. Thus correcting all the so-called wrongs.

  20. Basically with the invention of the Whitehead torpedo.

  21. That makes absolutely no sense.

  22. Not practical for many reasons. No lack on carrier museums.

  23.  @MsMaurice23  actually the New Jersey does need funds as the ship is raising money to go into dry dock. And no amount of funding is going to do anything for the United States. They can't even pay their bills of now over 60,000 a month.

  24. Your agenda has nothing to do with anything that happened in this crash. And being White & male didn't seem to save anyone.

  25. It's more of a quirky historical footnote. Was Robert E. Lee in the Corps of Engineers?

  26. It's better to have controlled airspace.

  27.  @UFOtter  all of the Pearl Harbor Survivors could make a case in that regard. They just really wasn't a demand at the time for such museums and memorials. And as we've seen with the Battleship Texas. These things are very expensive to maintain.

  28.  @Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent  Pat processes going on for a few decades. Meanwhile , they cannot pay their docking fees.

  29. There isn't any.

  30. Its historical value is minimal. And there are truly historical vessels right up the river in need of such funding.

  31.  @MrShobar  well, it is a open comment forum for all opinion.

  32. It's not confusing at all.

  33. Yes, same vessel.

  34. I wish people would pay attention? The TWA Super Constellation is cursed because of the previous mid-air. And there is no Boeing involved in any of the events. The jet was a Douglas dc-8.

  35. There is no 747.

  36. The term you're looking for is, eminent domain.

  37. It still wouldn't be realistic.

  38. Very long and tortured history here. Why was the Indian tribe not recognized till recently?

  39.  @MsMaurice23  hasn't moved yet....

  40.  @MsMaurice23  Both are in need of repair. Both have financing issues.

  41.  @markbrautigam2502  the ship is stripped bare to the walls.
