I was a curious kid. I went under the dividing ropes, and looked into it from underneath. I remember the clapper still being there, along with bracing material. May have been wood.
This was back in the 1990s.

U.S.S. John F Kennedy is scheduled to be taken to the breakers as well. She will be cut up for scrap.

To the best of my knowledge, only a few Navies of the world operate nuclear powered warships.
I have never heard of any civilian vessel having such technology. The cost is enormous, and the safety regulations involved are quite taxing and severe.

S.S. United States is a cruise ship. It never had a nuclear reactor. U.S. Navy vessels had those.
It was fitted with regular oil fired boilers, and steam turbines. The engines have been removed, last I checked.

Shoprite sells it by the gallon. I buy a gallon here and there to cut pure glycol coolant into 50/50 water/coolant for automotive cooling systems.
