(Via OlyDrop). Sandy Hooper/USA TODAYOften, it's too big a challenge.The Navy and other government agencies allowed groups around the country to take ships to use for museums rather than sending them straight to the scrapyard.
In some cases, veterans groups wanted them as tributes to military service. In others, cities sought to make them the centerpiece of waterfront attractions.Amid the enthusiasm for putting them on display, there's been scant attention given to the sky-high costs of maintenance.So many ships were doled out that they compete for volunteers and visitors within a few miles of each other. The Lane Victory shares the Port of Los Angeles with another, more recent-vintage museum ship, the battleship USS Iowa, which is about 5 miles from a nonmilitary floating attraction, the retired 1930s ocean liner Queen Mary in Long Beach.'
The Navy released ships to different cities because it was a great recruiting tool, and no one was looking at the end game,' said John Brady, CEO of the Independence Seaport Museum in Philadelphia, home to the cruiser USS Olympia, flagship during the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War in 1898, and the retired submarine USS Becuna. 'The people responsible for these ships are very committed to them, (but) they are competing for a very limited funding pool.' RUSTY KENNEDY, Associated PressFloating moneypitsThe biggest problems are financial. A statue in a park or town square to commemorate a general, a battle or a war can last generations with minimal maintenance. Ships require periodic trips to shipyards to have their hulls cleaned, painted and patched.
The ravages of water exposure, exacerbated by salt, means a never-ending fight against rust. Trips to drydock can run into the millions of dollars – then the refurbishing lasts only about 25 years, depending on the ship. Sandy Hooper/USA TODAYMany of the ships might be deemed national treasures, but the museum groups said they've largely gone without offers of federal funding from the Navy or elsewhere.

Volunteers overseeing her upkeep are struggling to generate funds for desperately needed restoration and repairs. (Via OlyDrop). Sandy Hooper/USA TODAY'You can't save every ship,' Burdette said.
'The best thing we can do to end this suffering is to turn her into a veterans' memorial off the coast of South Carolina where she can continue on patrol forever.' His larger problem is the Yorktown. He said it would cost $50 million over the next 20 years to deal with holes and corrosion near the waterline. The authority owes millions it borrowed from the state for renovating Laffey a few years ago.' You cannot sell enough tickets and T-shirts to make that work out,' Burdette said.Patriots Point has an advantage: 400 acres of property that can be developed, creating income streams to help cover a large part of the ship renovation tab.Other ship museums get creative in scrounging for money. USS Hornet, the retired aircraft carrier that recovered the Apollo 11 capsule after the moon landing in 1969, rents out its cavernous hangar deck on San Francisco Bay for high school proms and other community events. Justin Sullivan, Getty ImagesThe Lane Victory has generated revenue over the years from TV and movie productions and as a training venue for law enforcement SWAT teams.It has big bills to pay and a lot of yard work that needs to be done. It needs repairs to one of its steam engines, a trip to drydock for painting and hull cleaning and to settle debts it has accumulated.
Total costs are sure to run upward of $6 million. The ship needs a paint job, and rust is visible on the masts.The freighter was built in the port, close to where it is docked today. It transported supplies at the end of World War II. The ship's proudest moment came in the next war, Korea, when it and another Victory ship evacuated thousands of refugees.Out of hundreds of Victory ships built, the Lane Victory is one of only three that still exist in the USA. Until 2014, it hosted day sailings that included food, a 1940s-style band and vintage fighters that staged mock attacks to show off the ship's anti-aircraft guns.Since an engine problem occurred, the Lane Victory has languished dockside as its motley crew of mostly retirees tries to make repairs and raise money to get the ship back out to sea.

Sandy Hooper/USA TODAYOne veteran seaman, Issie Deitsch, 91, who said he endured three sinkings during World War II, said he was invited to join the Lane Victory crew, 'and I stayed on ever since. I love ships, and I love working on ships.'
'Piece of history'No one who knows the ship doubts its significance.' It's a vital piece of history,' said David Jones, who leads the U.S. Merchant Marine Veterans of World War II in preserving the ship and offering tours.But many don't know that history.' For the younger generation, they don't understand why these ships are important,' said Jonathan Williams, board president of the Historic Naval Ships Association.
'World War II for today's generation is almost like the Civil War to the generations of the 1930s and 1940s.' Williams, who heads the organization that runs the battleship Iowa, is reorienting the ship to try to generate excitement around a modern subject – showcasing the Navy's surface fleet – rather than just history.The group trying to save the Texas looked at using holograms to re-create life during the battleship's long history.
But those efforts are overshadowed by just trying to keep the 105-year-old vessel afloat.The dreadnought may get a lucky break. Though no federal money is available, the state may come through.
The Texas Legislature is considering a measure that could deliver funds to save the historic landmark.If it passes, it won't be a moment too soon. Leaks have become so severe that every day, the pumps struggle to discharge about 250,000 gallons of seawater. 'She is dying a slow death,' said Bruce Bramlett, executive director of the Battleship Texas Foundation.Almost $60 million has been spent shoring up or replacing the battleship's ribs and internal support.
To seal the leaks, the hope is that a steel hull can be applied at a cost that could exceed $35 million.Scrapping the battleship would be no bargain, either. As an old ship that might not be capable of being towed, it might have to be cut up in place at a tab of $30 million.' On one hand, you have the undoable, and on the other, you have the unthinkable,' Bramlett said.He is sure of one thing: If nothing is done, 'it's just a matter of time. Salt water wins the fight every single time.'
