It looks bigger than my entire workshop space.

Impressive looking machine.

Keith Rucker at Vintagemachinery.org restores old machines. He does a great YouTube channel. He might be interested.

Surprised it only weighs 3 tons...looks like it could be heavier than that.

I wonder what they were spinning that was 60+ feet long.

And how many steady-rests do you need?

I assumed it was something for the USN.

Well if you have 44 operators...

That lathe is actually still around and in the possession of a machinery dealer/collector.
