qroqqa commented on the word constructive total loss
or CTL: a ship etc. that is abandoned due to the reasonably-feared prospect of its shortly becoming an actual total loss (by exploding, sinking, or whatever), or which has been so damaged that it might as well be abandoned for lost because the cost of recovering or repairing it now exceeds its value
