Anyone know the basis for the one piece salvage? They can't possibly plan on rebuilding it, no one would cruise on it, and it would never be seaworthy. I've worked with Titan before, and when they are done, you'd never know that they had been there.
Wookie, as far as I know, the plan is definitely to rebuild it.
Far, far removed from my sphere of expertise and probably closer to yours - I also thought it was far fetched.
I am hardly an expert, but ships are meant to float. Ships aground get stresses placed on them that they were not only not designed for, they aren't calculable. Additionally, the water is designed to be on the outside of the people tank, not inside. They will discover corrosion in places they didn't know they had places....
Not sure if anyone else knows this, but there was a video on youtube of the CC slamming into the dock some years back under the command of a different Capt. With two strikes against her I think its time to call it quits.
No way that I would ever go on that ship, I would not believe that everything had been fixed properly. My car would be totaled and just scarp value, so should this ship.
Has anyone ever been on a salvage job that wasn’t really hard work followed by stuff parting and even more hard work? I don’t think working for the low bidder is a smart move on this job.
