Blind Rasputin posted:Does anyone know the coordinates of that river where they store a bunch of Naval ships in the middle of the river? They are all tied to each other and basically kept in near operating condition. Last I read they basically send a crew out there to de-rust and de-kelp them and make sure nothing has rotted every few months, but besides that its just a ton of ships waiting for the next war in the Pacific. Sounds like the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet, which is mostly old merchant ships. According to Wikipedia, the government is in the process of breaking down most of the Suisun ships. The battleship Iowa is there for now, but it won't be broken down -- they're still working out where it will end up going as a museum ship. There are a couple of other National Defense Reserve Fleet sites here and there around the U.S. Some of those ships could be used as merchant-marine-type transport in an emergency.
