The Navy has recently decided to put the sea shadow up for auction with the condition that it be scrapped almost immediately buy the buyer. This is a tragic waste of a truly unique naval vessel that could be used by any number of institutions including schools (as a research ship), the coast guard ( as an interdiction vessel), as a museum piece, or any one of of a dozen other possible uses. This Ship is an important piece of naval history and considering that it cost the navy $195 million dollars to build it is a ridiculous waste of a good ship.
