I’m praying she will be saved.

[@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.

[@trashyspeeds266]

Usually the ocean doesn't give 2 shits if you want your sinking boat upright or not 😂

[@AndyHappyGuy]

@@trashyspeeds266 in this case, the people reefing it can flood it in a way that makes it land in a desirable position.

[@trashyspeeds266]

@@AndyHappyGuy true. But over time its still likely to roll over from all the currents

[@AndyHappyGuy]

@@trashyspeeds266 They managed to get the Oriskany upright so I don't see why the can't with the United States.

[@Yellow4real]

These Guys are nuts. Why would they sink America’s flagship?! That is indeed, illogical.

[@douglaslorin739]

Ultimately, it's us who are to blame. If so many folks were genuinely interested in the liner, then it wouldn't be in the position its in. It is stripped of its furnishings and neglected.

[@dehavillandcanadatwinotter9621]

An artificial reef is actually a really good fate for a ship. Keeps the legacy alive and visitable. Restoring it would be a money pit and you don’t know if it will succeed or not. I think people undermine just how bad shape it’s in inside.

[@MiniMC546]

The SSUS would likely sink upright if Okaloosa wanted it to become an artificial reef.

[@chancellorjake]

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.

[@J.M.Chadwick6]

Absolutely disgusting! Future generations will lament the fact that she wasn't saved but it will be too late. It reminds me of the late, great Pennsylvania Station in NYC. Its gone forever but thank God Grand Central remains and was restored.

[@RomanDavidDeSilva]

This genuinely makes me sad. The idea of such a beautiful ship, that so many put so much hard work into, and then people came along and neglected it only for it to be sunken to the ocean is just tragic. The SS United States deserves better.

[@Fishmanyumyum]

I do think it is very sad if it goes but hey at lest its not getting scraped.

[@leeblack6139]

And it can be a support for new life.

[@nathanhudson-young2460]

Wouldn't they have her sink by the stern that way she dosen't go down as fast which could cause less damage?

[@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.

This is the best we can hope for now. It is far too late to save this ship. It is sad though. Fastest liner ever. I just hope it doesn't kill any divers in the future.

[@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.

[@Slycombs]

In my opinion if they were to sink ss United States I think they would try to have her upright like the Uss Oriskany but here’s hoping she can be saved although it’s highly unlikely

[@Arceemunoz]

Once the Ship of Blooms is now an American version of the HMHS britannic.

[@brandonharris7516]

I know that shop and I hope they won’t actually sink it

[@АндрейИванов-п6я7и]

Dear Calju! Please made video about Russian river cruise ship MV Bulgaria. About this ship i can say, that she is "Russian "Estonia" ", because official version of her sinking wery similar with oficial version of sinking MS Estonia(like a storm, open potholes, capsizing). In modern Russia her sinking is a worst shipwrecking incedent of all. I want to see your animation about Bulgaria.

[@PhopCou]

And it plans to be artificial reef

[@BELCAN57]

If she sinks on her side then eventually the effects of weather, time and gravity would cause her upper works to collapse onto the ocean floor and her hull to flatten out.

[@gavc6442]

This prospect is a bloody disgrace

[@damoncampbell386]

They plan to remove the funnels.

Yup, i dont like that

[@sideburngthepeacebringer27]

That's a pointless thing to do and a waste of time.

[@daleferber2096]

@@sideburngthepeacebringer27 Not pointless at all The top of the wreck must be at least 30 feet underwater Assuming they will sink her upright which makes for the best possible wrack dive site then removing the funnels and the mast allows for her to be sunk in shallow enough water so that the topside superstructure (the white part) is within depth of your typical sport diver which is less than 100 feet otherwise the bridge level itself would probably be at 100 feet if not deeper

This probably is a reality for the fate of this ship unfortunately. I don't think people realize what a restoration would cost for this. Not to mention the thousands of dollars already wasted in storing it a the pier all these years.

[@arielgustavocampora3243]

No soy norteamericano pero amo a estos gigantes del mar. Creo que viendo en el estado deplorable y desastrozo en que se encuentra su reconstruccion es totalmente inviable, mucho menos pensar que podría volver a navegar. A mi criterio entre crear un arrecife y el desguace me quedo con la idea del arrecife. 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. Creo que es el mejor destino que se le puede dar a esa gran dama del mar. Piensen que el Queen en California ya esta muy dificil de sostenerlo. Saludos a todos los americanos

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.

[@Buffalobob7701]

This Shit ain't funny

[@Harry-fe9ec]

Well it sucks. I live near the ship and have been down to see it. I’d rather see it sunk then scrapped but it’s a shame. It’s a shame it couldn’t be docked somewhere else in the city as a restaurant / museum. Wouldn’t have to restore the whole ship. Slap a paint job on the outside and redo what you can slowly on the inside. Where but philly should this ship be.

[@redbarry7]

I sailed on her in December 1961 as a June assistant engineer. Easy 12-4 watch. Great cabin, first-class food ( filet mignon, lobster daily day, lunch and supper). I Graduated from the SUNY Maritime College in 1962. She should be fixed and docked next to the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California). Where paying homage to a British passenger ship of the line, why not an American passage line ship of the line. Barry Hanish
