I'd love to salvage those fixtures and even the tile if I could!

Amazing. The last two pictures of this craft on the Naval Historical Center show the bridge and spotlight and they're still there.

The sense I get from these series of photos is how quiet these dead ships must be. A working ship is alive with sound: engines throbbing, ventilation systems blowing; pumps, motors and florescent lights humming, and the staccato sound of deck sailors chipping off rust and old paint with pneumatic and hand hammers. You don't notice it until it stops. For USS PC 1264 it has been stilled forever.

Thanks Nauseous for that post. I wonder if there's still unexploded ordinance strewn about the grounds? That stuff stays dangerous for a long time; European bomb squads are kept busy with bombs from both world wars.

Don't know if they made it there, but Studebaker once made STP (Scientifically Treated Petroleum) oil and gas additives. Of course you can still buy these products.
