  SS United States: America's Superliner

SS United States: America's Superliner 
W.F. Gibbs first dreamt of a 1,000-foot liner in 1915. Over the years he tried various ideas on other liners. Finally in 1943 he was asked to finally prepare his dream liner as both a passenger liner and a US-based troopship, using the latest developments in materials and technologies. Almost a decade later the SS "United States" sailed on her maiden voyage. Sadly the dream only lasted 17 years as the advent of cheap air travel took over.
