"It's always sad to read about a man-of-war being sold for scrap.
My ship suffered the same fate after it had been sold to the Turkish Navy."

Mine was sold to the Greek Navy in the 80's and jst recently scrapped by them.

Some of the "lucky" ships were later used as targets, sinking to Davy Jones Locker in one final act of honor to the United States of America and The US Navy.

I agree I'd rather see a warship sunk to rest at the sea bottom than sold for scrap. Somehow there seems to be more honor in that.
