Bruce McCall’s Zany Afternoons. It’s fabulous, some of his best work, a lot from National Lampoon. I bought a used paperback copy at Amazon.

Huh. Well, never believe anything anyone writes on Kinja. There was definitely a ship of some sort of similar vintage that’s having work done on it. I may have just assumed the sister ship bit.
The SS United States?
