Never is a long time. Maybe in 2,000 years when man has once again re-emerged from the Bronze Age.

Still they are fascinating artifacts of a distinct “moment in time”. I will never forget the tour in WIlmington. Seeing the mechanical fire control systems. Standing in the commander’s armored battle position and looking out through those slits of thick armor. Gave me goosebumps.

Yep, BB-55. Toured her back in early '80s. Stepping through the thick armored hatch into the conning tower was impressive....
