[QUOTE]Originally posted by Shik: [QB] [QUOTE]Jason orally spuzzed out: [qb] 100 year-old [i]de-commisioned[/i] ships would not be called upon to fight an enemy that far outclasses even your most advanced ships.[/qb][/QUOTE]The USN kept 3 [i]Des Moines[/i]-class heavy cruisers in mothballs in Philly for something like 50 years..."just in case." The funny thing is, we forget that in space--a vacuum--there's none of the usual "wear & tear" that we associate with oceangoing navies. For the USN, a 45-year-old vessel is an antique; the Brazilians, on the other hand, have a riverine craft in their navy dating to a 1937 launch. Still in service. I've no problem with old-ass ships still being in service; it would help a lot with the expanding frontiers (remember all that "exploration" nonsense?" & unless there was some form of severe structural anomalies, no reason for a ship build in the late 2260s to not be in service., even if it's in a reduced fleet supporrt role. (such as [i]Lantree[/i]) [/QB][/QUOTE]
