    The flipside to this.

    Posted because you can only have one poll per thread, otherwise it would have been in the other thread.

    What would you least like to see done with retired ships?

    This one's easy: the worst fate is to be used as the set for a Village People remake of the "In the Navy" video.

    The absolute worst fate would be turned into a greenpeace boat or some shit like that.

    What do you think of things like the Kidd's that were sold to the ROC or the Perry' that were sold to Australia?

    Worst fate would be to do nothing. Just let it sit anchored in some God Awful Hell hole Ship yard somwhere, and let it slowly rust into oblivion.

    Unless it's a former French ship sold to them via, well, just about anyone.

    Then it's funny :)

    Sale to a foreign navy or scrap metal are almost identical fates, should said foreign navy dare to attempt to use the ship against America!

    Well, a straight edge is manly, but rainbow colors and the "Venus" insignia . . .

    There is no such thing as a manly razor.

    Real men don't need razors.

    Haven't you seen any pictures of me?

    Here I am a few years ago, for example, with a couple of my caving buddies (I'm the guy in the middle):

    It's true that the guy on the left was using a razor a bit then, on his cheeks, but all that shows is that he was going through a phase where he wasn't as manly...
