Ghost Fleet Philadelphia

Some photos decommissioned warships to base maintenance reserve ships (NISMF) in Philadelphia. It is situated on the territory of the former naval shipyard. Was there the other day and decided to see what has changed in the 3 years since my last visit there. Changed, it must be said, not a lot. But something new is there.

NISMF - a division of the United States Navy, which is engaged in decommissioning and storage of naval vessels to determine their future destiny. And the options they have not so much: retired from the Navy ship can get into the reserve (the majority there and misses) can turn into a ship-museum (there needs action team and a lot of money) may be transferred / sold to another state (usually Allied USA), can become a marine reef (this is remove all the excess and beautifully flood in some Gulf), and maybe the saddest thing be brought to the needle (it cut into scrap metal). On the basis of the court there from all categories. Someone dragged recently, and someone rust at the quay wall for more than 10 years. In any case, it is a unique place where you can completely free to explore and photograph all standing there court.

In the photo trinity missile cruisers "Ticonderoga". Left USS Thomas S. Gates (CG-51). In the center of the lead ship of a series of USS Ticonderoga (CG-47) - the world's first guided missile cruiser with a multifunctional combat information and control system "Aegis". Launched in 1981. Removed from the fleet in 2004.

Right on the famous incident in the Black Sea USS Yorktown (CG-48). In 1988, he was playing with his muscles entered the territorial waters of the USSR, but received an unexpected resistance from the Soviet patrol ship "selfless" (he was to push his body far superior size American) and was forced to retire. Read about this episode of the Cold War can be here and here.
