Sure, look at some of the US's Carriers.

I assume the Russians ripped out anything of true value just like I assume the carrier USS Intrepid, now serving as a floating museum in New York, no longer contains military sensitive equipment.

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.

It has made me happy.There's no greater tactical advantage than being able to outrun your own topedos!
