Yeah, it was an awesome vessel. I believe that if I remember correctly her speed was actually classified because she was partially funded or something by the government and they wanted to use her as a troop transport if necessary. Also, didn't that ship have a very advanced bulkhead system to make it really "unsinkable," even more so than the Titanic? Last I heard it probably was not going to be refurbished though. Sort of sad.
