You're In Business

The submission represents a legitimate non-profit organization (USS Cleveland Legacy Foundation) but suffers from a critically low-quality submission that includes obviously false claims (e.g., claiming 'most people have used my product'). While the real-world cause is valid (civil-military relations), the project lacks technological innovation, and the input data provided is vague, spam-like, and inconsistent with the actual scale of a regional non-profit.

Description
Established in 2019 to support the commissioning of the fourth U.S. Navy ship in American history to bear the name Cleveland, our vision is to support positive civil-military relations by creating and maintaining a strong, meaningful, and direct bond between citizens of northeast Ohio and the crew of USS CLEVELAND (LCS 31). The Foundation has a threefold mission: - To send USS CLEVELAND (LCS 31) to the Fleet with the greatest start possible - To support the ship and crew throughout her service life - To welcome her home to Cleveland at the completion of her Naval service
