Fate
Saginaw was sold to Australia for use as a transport, and was renamed HMAS Kanimbla (L 51). The ship is now too rusty to be seaworthy, and is likely to be scrapped. http://www.smh.com.au/national/neglect-of-amphibious-fleet-triggers-defence-inquiry-20110215-1av7r.html

Famous quotes containing the word fate:
“Is it impossible not to wonder why a movement which professes concern for the fate of all women has dealt so unkindly, contemptuously, so destructively, with so significant a portion of its sisterhood. Can it be that those who would reorder society perceive as the greater threat not the chauvinism of men or the pernicious attitudes of our culture, but rather the impulse to mother within women themselves?”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“Thought enables us to see Fate coming.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
