[@AndyHappyGuy]

Nice animation, but Okaloosa County probably won't let the SS United States capsize if they actually end up scuttling it. They want it to be an artificial reef which tourists can actually dive to, and a sideways ship would be disorientating for divers visiting the reef. Remember, the nearby USS Oriskany was also turned into a reef in an upright position to make her wreck accessible to divers.

The thought of her laying on her side at the bottom of the Gulf makes me sick. Especially after 72 years sitting proudly upright. Eventually her superstructure will collapse and slide off just like the Andrea Doria. It's just wrong.

[@jayabsher4498]

It's all about the location. Of course for the Doria, it was a tragedy and they didn't have a choice. But the Andrea Doria is like that primarily because of the tides constantly sweeping by, and the Atlantic ocean itself. Look at the HMHS Britannic, she has been lying on her starboard side for about 44 years longer and still in great shape. Difference being she is in the Mediterranean Sea which is warmer and saltier and very low tides, so sea life has had the chance to encrust her entire hull effectively sealing her. Plus I am sure they would make every feasible effort to keep her upright. It's likely either that or she goes to the breakers which would be a terrible fate.

[@thelonelyturkey7902]

I am still fighting to prevent this from happening. Okaloosa county picked this ship as a publicity stunt 2 years ago and haven't picked another ship since. I am actively emailing hundreds of Mayors county councils and governors for the ship to be restored i also have a petition set up to turn it into a national park of engineering. I refuse to stop the fight to save out last oceanliner from mindless economics. We could create 10x more jobs if we can restore her. The data is there from Queen Mary.

a good portrayal but yet again not quite accurate as they have almost agreed to remove the funnels - a good point i picked up on - will she fall on to her side as shown here or will she fall flat on her keel

[@randalldunkley1042]

They show her on her side to keep her at a dive depth and not a hazard to navigation. Vertical height is more than width and as with Oriskany, the island is accessible to 130-foot SCUBA dives, but her flight deck and inner hull are not. You can spend a lot of money (that's not available) to remove her uptakes and masts to lower her height, but this method is more practical.

Havet actually drowned before. So I appreciate your concern. And good luck with that

[@JohnDoe-ot3zd]

Don't destroy this historic ship! It's part of American history!

[@launcesmechanist9578]

Unfortunately, history is not as relevant to some as it once was. If a group, state, government, invests enough money into something and doesn't see a return on it swiftly enough, it will be removed from 'protected' status and would be abandoned, destroyed, or sunk. One needs only look at the sorry shape some of our Museum ships are in to get the horrifying picture that these days people just don't give a damn about their nation's history. You need to fight, claw, shout and battle your way to be heard and present a completely viable case for a ship like the United States to be saved, invested in, and treated with the same dignity and respect as say, the USS Texas, for example. One notable example of a museum ship being lost was the pre-Dreadnought USS Oregon which was made a museum ship after WWI but at the outbreak of WWII was turned into an ammunition hulk stationed off Guam before being towed to Japan and scrapped there because the Navy couldn't tow her back to the US and any funds to keep her as a museum ship had been diverted to the war effort.

[@alexmcface]

We had the chance to save it decades ago but it’s really too far gone.

[@kay9549]

@alexmcface yes perhaps if they had kept her in original state prior to removing all her interior from her. To this day; still a beauty !! As many people know she still holds the blue riband for transatlantic travel. Do not think that any ship that was designed in that era or now would be able to achieve the accomplishment. Well done !! to William Francis Gibbs and his team of gifted individuals; that created/designed such a masterpiece.

[@ronstucker3550]

too bad it doesn't actually show how she will sink with her funnels removed and sitting straight up on her keel going down fairly level.(look at the Oriskany being sunk) becoming the biggest reef at the time not all that far from SS U.S. final resting place. This is much better than the SS France final.

El traslado al lugar de descanso, el hundimiento controlado con explosivos etc generara toda una movida mundial y miles de dolares solo con la televisasion en vivo del evento. Me atrevo a decir que seria como la televisacion del alunizaje en 1969. Y una vez en el lecho marino seguiría generando millones de ganancia como centro de buceo. El hecho de que desaparezca llevar muchas decadas. Millones de buceadores podran visitarlo antes de que su estructura comience a colapsar. Seria un santuario marino.

[@Hibernicus1968]

Honestly this is probably the best fate for the ship now (though hopefully they could sink it upright). At least it will be serving a useful role in nature, and divers can still visit it. It would have been nice if she had could have been put back into service in some capacity, or turned into a floating hotel like the R.M.S. _Queen Mary,_ but all the various plans to do something with the ship over the decades have come to naught for the same reason: none of them were economically viable. At this point, the ship has deteriorated so badly that the cost of simply repairing all the damage would be mind-numbing. And that's before you get into the additional expense of fitting out her interior to look as she did when she was in service -- and all those atomic era furnishings would have be made from scratch today. I just can't see it ever happening. Better to see her turned into a reef than to sit at dock, rusting away, until finally corrosion breaches the hull below the waterline, she sinks at her moorings, and they decide to haul what's left of her away to a scrapyard.
