    Oliver Wendell Holmes' "Old Ironsides" mentions the "hope for the end of the ship" which is referring to the ship's way of going out. The narrator of the story wants the ship to end by being destroyed in a battle or storm, instead of being completely dismantled and turned into scrap metal.

    It is sunk by the sea.

    Explanation:

    In the poem, the author talks about the USS Constitution, which was a boat about to be decommissioned. The author feels sad about this, as he does not think this is a good outcome for the boat. Instead, he tells us that he hopes the boat sinks due to the god of storm, the lightning and the gale. Such a dramatic ending would be better for such an iconic ship, according to the author.
