Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

The HMS Saxifrage appears to be privately owned, and so decisions about its future are not a matter for the UK Government or Parliament.
