USC spent $300,000 in state and federal money to construct what one professor dubbed "the world's largest bathtub," designed to hold the ship while it was soaked in a waxy chemical solution. But the state Commission on Higher Education learned that the preservation process has encountered a problem ? "the world's largest bathtub" has sprung several lcaiv.^.

The commission heard USC's request for $50,000 to install a new stainless steel liner in the tank, a move universitv engineers think will solve the problem.
