if we could pool our money...the ultimate model museum/meeting place!
Use them to store the asbestos insulation you will have to remove from the habitable areas.

At least you'd have a place big enough to display that 1/72 scale An-22 when it's finished. ;~) "The world would be a much simpler place if every one could pick and choose their obligations, but we can't and we shouldn't." Major Charles W. Whittlesey
let the left/right coast debate begin.
not a problem...take turns and built a hotel on the thing for extended conventions!
and a casino for extended cruises.
Drag it up the Mississippi and park it at St. Louis. ;)

As she came from across the pond originally it should be parked in Portsmouth harbour and refitted as a museum, conference centre and - probably another museum, two or three hotels, and - well the list goes on until we run out of space :-)
But it would be cool to get the Vengeance back where she steamed from on so many occasions... And... ships are called She 'cos it takes *so* much to keep 'em in paint and powder :-) - Admiral Halsey said that I think.

I guess it goes where the money is...if I had the cash it would be parked outside my little place in some island
Or, if there's any more room along the shoreline, dock it in Biloxi and make it just one more gambling casino ;~)

Hell! It could BE an island. ;~)

I'm surprised Newcastle haven't got in on the deal seeing as she was built there and (IMO) there's a bias for museums being down south. It'd certainly be a popular attraction.

'Party on, dudes!'
Bill, the old guys could even build one in 48th...
