Look at the plight of the USS Olympia as an example of what can happen

You made me look up the ship on Wiki. Damn... I've been on her twice,
once as a kid and again a couple years ago when I was in Philadelphia
for the sci fi Worldcon, and the idea of the Olympia being sold for
scrap... I wonder if there's any way to get her to Buffalo's Naval Park.

The place she should go is Washington state; I assume she's named after
Olympia, Washington.

Sure, but construction started under Buffalo's Grover Cleveland and we
killed McKinley, so there's a connection there too Hell, maybe fresh
water would be better for her as well.
