That looks like an interesting subject for one of the 'Merchant' Kings.

An interesting pic...turns out that Cunard was interested in acquiring the "Big U" at one point, and went so far as to develop plans and a drawing to show how she might've looked. No idea what her name might've been, but the design looks interesting! (NOTE: There would be a pic here instead of a link, but for some reason DropBox refuses to work right and MajHost is shut down.) https://www.dropbox.com/sc/4ykri2kgr4jt ... JclBg5lQTa |

This can be a simple new paint job. The SS United States has been in the main site for a long time now |

Not as simple as all that...the superstructure would have to be reworked. Easy to do on warships, but a real pain on liners.

Thanks for putting this up! I knew I had seen it somewhere (on Facebook), but I just couldn't find it back, despite hours of searching... |

No problem...be interesting if someone draws her. |

I have a copy of the planed 1980ish refit: link. |

So glad that refit never came to pass...too modern for me. |
