A Soviet submarine, the
Scorpion, is moored next to
Queen Mary Three weeks ago, I noticed that
Scorpion was closed, as was the souvenir shop next to it where one could purchase
ushanka hats, red star pins worn by Young Pioneers, the Soviet equivalent of the Boy Scouts, etc.
The boat showed signs of neglect with rust spots on the hull. I read that it is in need of major restoration. I'm glad I was able to visit it a few years ago when it was open.

The USS Constitution, launched in 1797, is much older than the Star of India. And the USS Constellation, launched in 1854, sits in Baltimore Harbor. Both can still sail.

I thought the ship was set in concrete That's what I read. That would prevent it from sailing away from Long Beach.
