After docking, “Shrewd” will be moved to the new parking lot as a museum ship, where he will wait for the opening, which will be timed to coincide with the Navy Day (celebrated on the last Sunday of July). The crew will have a reduced crew, which will further ensure its unsinkability by analogy with the Aurora.
