Im sure that very few people understand that ships are said to have souls so I feel that it would be great if the people who want to sink ships were were to be sunk with them. another thought is to ask how many ocean going ships are left flying the AMERICAN flag (try counting on one hand)

Dingo go see if you can find a big boy to mentor you. Your an ass. The bottom line is it's throwing our money away. Portsmouth NH's seaport is in the business of selling American Trash. Perhaps they might be interested in you. In the meantime this country is in economic crisis and every penny needs to be accounted for. So take your Republican ignorance and shove it. And yes, I'll be happy to hug a tree, it's soooo much better than hugging a jackass like you.

Everybit of that ship is recyclablek, so the government true to form , would rather pollute the oceans than properly dispose of this. Money could be made by scraping the damn thing.l Taxpayers paid for that ship, and it should be scrapped and money put into the defense fund. Quit throwing our hard earned money away.
