I understand there is no immediate answer for the fate of decommissioned Warships, however it does not do justice to your Country's men & women who served on these vessels to display them is such states of visual decay
That first vessel? has
14 mooring chains out so she is not going anywhere in a hurry
In Sydney harbour, we had a berthing called
Rotten Row however in my time with the Department in late 80's, our decommissioned vessels were periodically rolled over with some grey paint...there was also a 24/7 Sentry [Naval Police Officer] on the quay to deter
anyone from the general public in visiting
I walked on the deck of our once Flagship HMAS Melbourne......
