When I was in the Navy we went to the Philly shipyard twice for dry dock repairs. There was (might still be) a mothball fleet there. I thought exactly the same thing seeing all those ships just sitting there rusting. I don't really see how they would regulate it though, it's mostly the government doing it and there's not any money in it privatize it. Hope they have a way of doing it, rather than just saying it needs to be done.

saw a show about a navel fleet they have in the middle of the ocean somewhere.... Its a goverments navy one so its like high security stuff like you can't go within a mile of it or you get it huge trouble type of stuff, they should just take um outta the water and let them sit in a yard somewhere, for how much it caughst to repair them from all the water damage transportation 500 feet out of the water wouldn't be much.
