Somebody, and I have absolutely no idea who that somebody would be, is going to get stuck with a multi-million dollar bill for this debacle.  But, I will point out it is not the submariner's fault that the sponsor went broke or the river filled with silt thereby physical marooning the boat.

Unless one of us has some access to a really big Foundation, with deep pockets, there isn't much we can do. No one wants to foot the bill for her, and somewhere a decision will be made as to who is responsible for her disposal or salvage. I would assume a bankruptcy filing would shortly follow.
Walt,
