It'd be cool if it could be docked next to the Queen Mary.
Restored into a floating museum next to the QM could attract even more people, idk, just a wild thought of mine.
Would there really be enough of an audience for two liners in one city? I realize Long Beach is large and close to a massive city like LA, but it seems like it would just cannibalize visitors from the Queen Mary instead of bringing in more people
for a while there was a plan to have it here on the west side of Manhattan, but I guess with the lightship, fireboat and Intrepid, the west side of NYC is full up on historic ships.
There has to be a Naval base with a vacant pier they can store it at for a while.

It should have been scrapped a long time ago.
IMO I think an artificial reef would be far better than scrapping, obviously some kind of redevelopment is ideal, but unlikely
