The Last Ships of the Hudson Mothball Fleet
In Jones Point on the Hudson four mothballed ships remain as the rest of the reserve fleet dwindles. Many were used in past crises from Korea to Vietnam and Suez, with three sold to Spain and others scrapped or repurposed. A future plaque and launching port are planned, while the fleet nears final departure by June.
