Endangered Warship
An Aug. 30, 2010 photo shows a plate on USS Olympia, in Philadelphia, which steamed out of San Francisco in 1892 and served most notably as flagship of the Asiatic Squadron in the Spanish-American War. Without a major refurbishment to its aging steel skin, the Olympia either will sink at its moorings on the Delaware River, be sold for scrap, or be scuttled for an artificial reef 90 miles south.
