Clear proof that some folks have way too much time on their hands.

It always disappoints me that Britain never kept just one (out of dozens) of her dreadnought type or other battleships, from either WW1 or WW2. What a spectacular lack of foresight - to me its like demolishing the Tower of London, or letting HMS Victory rot. What were they thinking?
I hope the US continues to hang on to some of their battleships so we have some reminder of the power & spectacle of this era.
