They might have to deal with the fact that nobody is going to restore it because of the cost and that it needs to be put in a permanent home.
I know it's a piece of history, but currently it's just wasting away.

The ship was only used for 17 years. It's been a piece of speculative value for over 50 years.

IMO they should sell it to the navy to use as target practice. But I think a big concern is that it may not be structurally sound enough to leave the pier

Just push it super fast across to the NJ side and let them deal with it. Either that or set it adrift down the Delaware and see how far it goes. Wherever it lands is it's home.
