Default Four Royal Navy frigates in Portsmouth Harbour for sale

How terribly sad to see these past loyal servants simply rusting away awaiting whatever fate is decided upon

Yes, but these vessels have reached the end of their usefulness. Better to see them made into something useful again than rusting in their berths.
