So something I've been wondering since reading the book A Man and His Ship about Gibbs and his struggle to build the United States. One of the chapters talked about how Gibbs was pissed when i stead of going for his superliner idea which if not for WW1 would've gone ahead and instead went for the captured Vaterland. Now what if the Vaterland had tried to run back to Germany and while doing so was sunk? Thus meaning the United States Line when the war ends won't have an already waiting superliner instead of having to build one and ends up building Gibbs superliner? What would the effects on US postwar shipping be if in the twenties if the US has the Blue Ribbon?
