The SS United States was a transatlantic ocean liner, and the pinnacle of American engineering at the time of her completion in 1952 and when she entered service she started her career with a bang, smashing the previous eastbound record and took the Blue Riband from the RMS Queen Mary, beating her predecessor by over 10 hours. On her return westbound crossing she once again beat the Queen Mary, and had the Blue Riband in both directions for the United States, the first time in nearly 100 years. The Big U continued her career into the 1960's, and saw many famous passengers on board, including current and future US presidents, famous singers and actors, not to mention important members of the government from time to time. And this of course is no surprise.The United States was designed with the auxiliary role of a troop transport in the event of a third World War. This, thankfully never happened and she served her whole career under the civilian flag. Still, many of her most important features, such as top speed, underwater protection, and accommodations/capacity of troops where kept top secret until then end of her career in 1969.

America's flagship, the SS United States is still afloat today in Philadelphia, albeit in less than stellar condition. Without a permanent home, the Big U will continue to rust away in its berth or worse, be scrapped.
