        @BeschlossDC @jonkarl That's the saddest thing I've seen in a very long time. Somebody with too much money should restore it b/c history.

        @BeschlossDC I got a chance to visit it in Norfolk right before it got moved overseas. You can tell it used to be something special...

        .@BeschlossDC @ZekeJMiller I think that should be bought back and restored and moored here for antiquity. I got a $1...anyone else?

        @beschlossdc Lloyds Yacht and Ship has it listed at $11.5 million. One renovation estimate for the 83-year-old craft was $43.5 million.

        @BeschlossDC :-(. Seems there must be some way to get it back and restored. We don't take care of our heritage in the States.

        @BeschlossDC Is this still property of the US Govt/Office of the President/etc? Just seems incredibly odd...
