These are images of the mothballed James River Reserve Fleet near Norfolk, Virginia and the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet near Benicia, California.

Norfolk, Virginia:

Suisun Bay, California:

kmz.

While we’ll be fortunate if these ships are never again mobilized; I hope we use these ships for artificial reefs, instead of scrap.

An obvious solution would be to use these ships as old NYC subway cars are being utilized off the coast of New Jersey/Delaware.
