That all depends on their Mothball system. The US puts ships to be decommissioned through a full overhaul, loads it with supplys and covers the weapon/electronics with spray on covering. The intent is to able to reactivate them within 60 days if necessary. Only after years of being in Mothball are ships either sold or scrapped. Thats when they are stripped.
