The U.S.S. Monitor is still a NAVY ship owned by the US Government. Due to its historic importance, by law they may not sell it. It is rightly the property of the American people.

I have worked on many, many public and private historic preservation projects over the years. I’d be willing to bet far more than anybody here. The Federal government does a far better job than most state governmenst. Private organizations tend to do the worst.

Just telling it like it is.

The Navy can strike the “USS Monitor” and sell it for scrap or as a museum ship — or “reef” it if they so chose. The “museum ship” route would allow a private organization to preserve it as a national monument. It’s literally done all the time.
