463 is going in the shops right after 489. It is going to be paid for by a guy in Japan. 492 will then be restored because it has a boiler that is newer than any of the other K-37's. I think it was made in the 40's or 50's. As for 497 it will more than likely trade running gear with 492 since 497 has gotten new running gear farely recently before she was taken out of service.
