I served in the Army and the only ships that I was ever on were Riverines ( river patrol boats used in Vietnam) and a submarine ,once, in training.So I have no extensive maritime experience to draw on, However,while I know that these pathetic wrecks are just so much junk,I still cannot help but feel sorry for them.Like alot of other things in this world,ships are often better ''people'' than those who built and served on them. It is a shame that they cannot be restored to once again be put to good use

Sad and scary at the same time,like looking into the open grave of someone who would have been a good friend had I known her before she was used up,worn out and thrown away.
