I just ran across this place; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suisun_Bay_Reserve_Fleet
www.businessinsider.com/mothball-fleet-of-decaying-ships-off-coast-of-san-francisco-2014-10?op=1
Having done what little checking I could, it seems that 10 ships are left, one of which is due to be sold off.
I wonder, if MB could get access to these ships what tests/myths could they do - short of sinking or damaging any of them? At least two of the ships left appear to be of similar size to an Arleigh Burke class destroyer, so the parachute 'skysail' system discussed in another thread might be testable on one of these ships. But anything else spring to mind?
