There are only two futures for what's left of this hull. Sink it off the cost to make a reef / tide break, or scrap it.

I doubt at this point after 50 years of neglect that the ship can even make it to the nearest scrap yard if it has to go out into the Atlantic to get there. So that leaves sinking it off southern NJ most likely in the Delaware Bay or as deep out as they can get before it starts sinking on its own.

That or they bring it into the navy yard to scrap it, it might fit in one of the old dry docks down there, but I question if the value of the scrap would even pay for the dock time.
