AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
When it was launched in 1952, the USS United States was one of the most impressive ocean liners in the world. The largest ship ever constructed in the USA, the vessel set numerous Atlantic crossing speed records. In 1996, the ship was essentially mothballed by being parked in the Delaware River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In this drone video by contributor and pilot PO3SMITH, you'll get a bird's eye view of the vessel, which was designed to be converted to use as a troop carrier in the event of war.

"She is an ocean liner..not a cruise ship!" Those lines..her speed...she was built to impress! I found her on a whim not even knowing she was still around! I was driving to a museum in Philly and saw her smoke stacks in the distance...the rest is history! Her paint may be chipping, her hull rusting...but damn if she still doesnt look as sexy as the day she was launched!
