Rust in peace no more, me hearties,
Your waiting days are almost done.
Off to Texas and broken for scrap,
No more belowdecks gay seamen's parties.

The Ghost Fleet of Suisun Bay
Interesting 12-min. video of a bureaucratic/regulatory/environmental nightmare. Includes a segment about USS Iowa (BB 61) which had a powder magazine explode in 1989 due to aged (1930s!) and improperly stored propellant and which destroyed a 16-inch gun turret and killed 47 crewmen. The Navy at first blamed the explosion on a gay lovers' quarrel.
