This may be a bit esoteric, but under federal historic preservation law, the USN has certain responsibilities with regard to its historic vessels. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, which oversees federal preservation law, is about to issue a rule regarding disposition of historic vessels and is inviting comments:

"SUMMARY: The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation is considering issuing a Program Comment for the Department of the Navy setting forth the way in which it will comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act with regard to the determination of National Register of Historic Places eligibility of its vessels and the treatment of adverse effects that may result from their disposition."

You can read the full notice here:

and make your comments to the Council. I have and invite anyone with an interest to do so.
