It's been a long time coming, but at least with it's final act it'll help bring new life.

In accordance with the rules of news, I have updated the headline to reflect the headline on the website.

Please, change the title to what it was meant to be:

Original title: United States about to be sunk.

Foreshadowing metaphor blurs line with click bait, but its final voyage was in 1969, so new headline is too cowardly. The rust bucket will be made into an artificial reef.
