Was that a museum piece or part of the mothballed fleet? I watched some videos on how they mothball a ship and was a bit surprised at the lengths they go to seal up and preserve them. I'm assuming the hull on this ship rusted through, or did s valve or shaft leak?

Edit: nevermind, I see the link at the bottom.
