Convert it to a house. Probably already has a bunch of what would be needed.

In today's Daily Fail.
Dignitaries such as Winston Churchill, were invited to conferences on board USS Williamsburg, while the vessel sailed around the world taking President Harry Truman, bottom right, on a series of exotic vacations. But now the celebrated boat is rusting away in an Italian shipyard - and could be scrapped within a few years if a last-minute attempt to save it fails. The Williamsburg is currently moored at La Spezia, where her owners say she is likely to sink in the next few years and will then be cut up for scrap.

Sorry, Gob.

I'm sure the Oz Navy is better than New Zealand's efforts, right. :mrgreen:

Here's FDR's yacht (S.S. Potomac) as a comparison.

This must be a back-up plane of some sort....

First of all, when George HW Bush became President, the primary Air Force 1 (Actually there are two of them) became upgraded to the 747 version in service today:

And the primary plane from the earlier era is at The Reagan Library:
