**************************************************************
After World War II, 5,500 American flagships were swathed in cocoons of grease and mothballed in shipping bone yards.

By September of 1966 135 had been resurrected for sailing to Viet Nam. Their repairs cost one billion two hundred thirty thousand 1966 dollars.

A Bethlehem Steel Corporation, shipbuilding executive described their condition “The preservative grease on the hull and superstructure had usually hardened and could be removed only by sandblasting or with chemicals.”

 

It was a tragic and sickening picture of their once proud maritime condition.

And as I remembered back to that time I could not help but think that this is what happens to a man when he denies his destiny. Gives up on his future. Mothballs his soul. Takes up residence in a spiritual bone yard.
