    The mind certainly boggles, although sizeable ships have been transported to land-locked lakes in bits on many occasions, often long beofre metaled roads or even Railways existed!

    Wikipedia has an unusually caustic comment about the location: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Ruchamkin_(APD-89)

    I am not totally sure what "hull and superstructure" means but I suspect it may be that it is an empty shell with no machinery or interior except bracing to keep its shape!
