The liner SS United States must have been deliberately sunk for a unique reason

The liner SS United States is an iconic part of US history.

One of the most famous cruise liners in the world, the SS United States, has to be deliberately sunk by the authorities for a very unique reason.

LADbible writes about it.

Built in the early 1950s, the decommissioned ocean liner was the fastest, hosting famous guests including John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Walt Disney, Judy Garland and Salvador Dali.

Larger than such famous ships as the Titanic, it was sold at a discount almost 20 years later, in 1969; this news surprised many, because cruises on it were already booked for 1970 and beyond.

Behind the scenes, the ship fell into disrepair and was not properly maintained, and most of its interior furnishings were sold.

Now, 55 years later, officials in the US are trying to sink the ship.
