<br/><br/> This article advocates for increased attention and resources for the US Navy's museum ship fleet. These ships are invaluable historical assets that serve as powerful educational tools and recruitment aids. The challenges faced by these aging vessels need dedicated volunteers and funding. Solutions like greater Navy oversight, improved funding mechanisms and stronger partnerships between Navy and civilian preservation groups to ensure the long term viability and continued public access to these significant pieces of naval history.
