Disney will soon own one of the world's largest cruise ships

Surely most of it would be disassembled and used/sold for other projects. Recycling. At a huge loss, of course, as it all sits depreciating.

The cost of doing so would be huge, I'd imagine.

There's also the cost of maintaining and storing the monster while it's setting idle-- not recouping any expenses.

alright taxpayers, get your checkbooks out

The greater loss would have been if it had been dismantled.

It's the same as when a Chinese building falls over, or any great ship goes down in a storm, (or rolls over on the Italian coast). It's not the dollar loss only that is the tragedy, but the wasted enterprise.

Thousands upon thousands of hours have been spent on that project. Pissing it away afterwards is a slap in the face of every planner, every procurement buyer, every metal worker, every person who worked on it.

When the Titanic, the Andrea Doria, and the Costa Concordia were lost, untold hours of labor were squandered.

Waste is waste.

Oh dear.

Just no.

We won't sail on any ship with more than 250 passengers.

I give free rides on my dinghy.
