Currently, the Navy retains less than 50 ships within its inactive “ghost” fleet, among them Oliver Hazard-Perry frigates, Ticonderoga guided missile cruisers, Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers, and a variety of other types, including fleet replenishment ships and amphibious assault ships.
Among the ships to be evaluated for a potential return to service are a handful of Oliver Hazard-Perry class frigates and the USS Kitty Hawk, a conventionally-powered super carrier mothballed in Bremerton, Washington.

Still quite a few Navy Ships at the Navy Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility as well (old Philadelphia Navy Yard, which is mostly used now by Akers Philadelphia Shipyard). You can see them when crossing over the Delaware River on the I-95 Bridge. You can drive down Broad Street into the Akers Ship Yard part and get up close and personal with them which I did back in August. You can't go on them but you can stand close enough to a bunch of them that you could spit on their mooring lines from the pier. Not a single person stopped and asked me what I was doing either. How's that for "Port Security"?

PO1 John Johnson Port Security? Bahrain Comes to Mind. The Uniform of "Port Security" during Desert Storm was Quite Unique. Short Shorts and Wife Beater Shirt in Camo. Very "Tight". I was in the EM Club and Noticed a Nice Form while I was there for Desert Storm. I Let Out some Appreciative Sound Effects for a Brunette in that Uniform. She Turned Around "I'm Telling Sandy, Chip!" It was the MM1 who was My Bldg Facilities Manger while I was working at NARDAC. She Looked Rather Sharp in That Outfit. LOL!
