Our first cruise was on the Independence. Fond Memories

Unfortunately, Indy did not end well.

NCL bought both the SS United States and the SS Independence. The stated plan was to restore both and use them in the NCL America Hawaiian fleet, since they were US built and eligible for the route. That never happened. Independence was sold for scrap. Due to her historic significance, NCL sold the United States at less than scrap value to the SS United States Conservancy for preservation and redevelopment as a static attraction. http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=2049
