It is a shame the ships are being scrapped. Would have been nice to turn them into floating museums. I remember back when I was 11, on a family trip to North Carolina coast, stopped in Wilmington where the U.S.S North Carolina, a battleship from WWII, was docked. For a small fee, you could go aboard and look around in a guided tour. I loved it because I am a history buff, and my father enjoyed it because he was an army vet that served in that war.
