in a recent article in the Palo Alto Daily News was finally announced the agreement to remove about a dozen (most polluting) of over 50 warships that are left inside the San Francisco Bay near the town of Benicia.
Some of these vessels have participated in the Second World War and were decommissioned by decenni.In the years many local associations have protested against any contaminants which ships are released in these waters.
The U.S. Navy has two other areas where abandoned warships into disuse, one in Texas and one in Virginia.
satellite images from google maps make good the idea of \u200b\u200bthese "cemeteries" and zoom in you can see many details of ships.
The cost estimates for dismantling there are about 1 million dollars per vessel.
