Last night I finally got around to watching a show I taped last week, "The Boneyard... Where Big Things Go to Die".
The first part was about all these decomissioned ships huddled all together out in a body of water, just sitting there. Some are used for spare parts, like a junk yard. Some are just being stored until future use, and some are being held until they can be scrapped, and some are being held until they can be moved to a permanent home and be made into museum's, like the USS Intreped in NYC and the USS Lexington in Corpus Christi. They showed a map of where this Boneyard was, and it looked like it was somewhere around the upper part of the SF bay area. One of the ships in this boneyard is the USS Iowa. I thought that to be kind of strange that the very place the USS Iowa is, the people there don't want to display it.
