That is correct as well as both California Senators want the ship put SOMEWHERE in California as a museum. So when authorized visitors or inspection parties (such as mine) board the ship, there won't be any complaints about totally ignoring it.

I must say, though MARAD funds are limited and once got an unqualified sub-contractor, they are doing a tremendous amount of work to keep the ship preserved.

My hat is off to them.
