It is on display in Charleston, SC, along with the carrier Yorktown. If you are driving down (or up) I-95, it is worth the detour to see them.

From: eos!eugene@eos.arc.nasa.gov (Eugene Miya) In between Cray runs and very bored... NSS-1 Savanah: I think it had a gross tonnage around 20K-30K tons. It was decommissioned in the 1960s. Too little carrying capacity in a world which went to container ships. Strictly attempt an proof-of- concept. Amazing the trivia you learn during one's education toward NROTC and a NucEng major. Another gross generalization from --eugene miya, NASA Ames Research Center, eugene@aurora.arc.nasa.gov resident cynic at the Rock of Ages Home for Retired Hackers: "Mailers?! HA!", "If my mail does not reach you, please accept my apology." Domains, the zip codes of networks.
