SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal judge found Thursday that a fleet of rotting warships anchored near San Francisco Bay is in violation of federal and state pollution laws. Judge Garland E. Burrell Jr. ruled in U.S. District Court in Sacramento that the Suisun Bay Reserve Fleet was in violation of the federal Clean Water Act.

I never understood why the made scrap out of the old B-17s and B-24s (something like 10-15 thousand were turned into scrap metal at the end of WWII) but they kept these old ships. Seems like a better source of metal.
