I think I know what he means...but I can’t see a gray ship as being an eyesore.

I know some people see them and see the powdery, gray, oxidizing paint and rust running down the side, but I see a ship that was once manned by men. I just can’t see them as hulks, which basically, some of them are.

And the Iowa...agreed. I saw the USS Iowa tied up next to the Saratoga at Coddington Cove at the Naval Base in Newport RI...both of them looked like old, grey ghosts...but beautiful to me.
