Abstract The existence of warless ships of independence on the Malali River is widely known by the public. People are more familiar with Japanese ships because stories about Japanese soldiers are more prominent. The aspirations of the community and the government to utilize and manage the existence of this ship as a tourist attraction. This study aims to identify the presence of ships stranded in the Malali River as well as formulate the extent of existing policy planning support to utilize it as a tourist attraction. Community approach methods and descriptive analysis and scoring were used in this study. The results showed that a number of characteristics and shapes of the ship's body showed that this ship was made in America and was a warship from America. Meanwhile, based on the analysis of ship conditions, water conditions and the condition of sludge deposits around the ship support the reduction of corrosion processes on ships. The planning offered consists of several options including moving the ship to the opposite side of the ship and enforcing the ship in its original place. The results showed that the option of enforcing ships in place all received full support from the surrounding community so that it was not far from community stories. Meanwhile, in optimizing its development, the transfer of ships across the river is the best option in terms of land availability
