The odd thought did occur to me that pictures like this could be used to make the Navy look like it's falling apart in the foreign press. The past glory of American power and other such bull with the photos taken out of context. A similar thing occurred with the old Soviet Navy with the critical difference being that some of their rusting ships were supposed to still be active.
