Fate
After spending over two years in Union Square, the Landship Recruit was decommissioned and dismantled for moving to Coney Island's Luna Park, where the Navy intended to maintain it as a recruiting depot following its success at its Union Square location. Recruit had its colors struck on 16 March 1920, and preparations began for the move. However, the ultimate fate of Recruit after its move is undetermined.

Famous quotes containing the word fate:
“To die for one’s country is such a worthy fate that all compete for so beautiful a death.”

“In separation, deadly as poison,
in union, brimming with nectar.
What, did fate make my love
out of both equally?”

“In the small circle of pain within the skull
You still shall tramp and tread one endless round
Of thought, to justify your action to yourselves,
Weaving a fiction which unravels as you weave,
Pacing forever in the hell of make-believe
Which never is belief: this is your fate on earth
And we must think no further of you.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
