: A couple of years ago I looked up the FORD & she was tied up at the dock somewhere in Michigan being used as a bulk cement storage facility.
: At the time of her repair, some of the rivets at the turn of the bilge were so ripe they could be knocked loose by hand. I think it is just the combination of rust & cement that's keeping her afloat.
Sorry to hear that. She was the pride of the fleet as well as the flag ship.
