No, there are *multiple* problems. You are referring to the problem that
there is a very large derilect Ada site drifting along the web, which
needs to be either towed to port or destroyed, as it is a hazard to

(perhaps foolishly) helped build and outfit that hulk, but is now
prevented by law from salvaging anything valuable off of it before it
all rots.
