Read a piece in the local rag today that plans are in the works to either scrap or more likely reef Admiral Dewey's flagship USS Olympia.

Here's a link to a piece about it in the Philadelphia Inquirer. http://www.philly.com/philly/news/local/85456487.html

This would be a horrible shame if this ship can't be saved...

I wonder about the feasibility to landlock it like the USS Drum down in Mobile, AL.
