Preserving the USS Olympia - a Protected Cruiser

The USS Olympia, which fought in the Spanish American War of 1898 has been preserved and is a valuable piece of US maritime history. Unfortunately, Olympia needs $10-15 million in repairs to keep her a viable museum for years to come. She has not been out of water for approximately 40 years.

This is a great idea! HII needs to do what it can to protect the shipbuilding industry in America, and in fact, we need these ships in the US Navy as the LCS program has simply too many problems right now.
