USS Shreveport Decomissioned
Russell Cappo and Mark Florsheim Jr recap the history of the ship USS Shreveport which is being decommissioned today

That is a nice looking ship. It would be so cool to get that thing here and dock it on the river as a museum. My kids would freak every time we drove by.
|
Great Idea. We drive through Mobile, AL when going to Florida and the kids always gawk at the battleship moored in the harbor. Maybe some day we will actually stop and go inside. Seems like we are always in a total rush when highway driving. Just want to get there.....

That ship in Mobile is awesome. It's airconditioned now which makes it nice. they also have a cool airplane museum there.
|
I wonder if it would fit through the locks. Wikipedia says it has a 22' draft, can we do that here? It's also 548' long, but I'm pretty sure we can do that.

I had no idea it was that big. I saw it last night and even next to Cedric Glover it looks big. If somebody mentioned turning it into a casino they'd have that thing here lickety split.
