Mare Island departure...

http://navy.memorieshop.com/Glacier/MareIsland-Departure.html

GLACIER departed Mare Island, CA in tow behind the tug Rhea on May 7, 2012 en route to Brownsville, TX for dismantling. Sad end to another historic vessel.

She was sold for scrap on February 16, 2012 to ESCO Marine of Brownsville, Tx for $146,726. She's scheduled to head to Mare Island for her hull cleaning prior to her tow to Tx on April 17, 2012.

Interesting icebreaker, I had never heard of her! Would you consider moving her to the "Icebreakers" category please. I think you'd do many people a favour :-)

The link says she is to become a museum ship. Is this still the case?
