Aegis Cruiser Sunk as Target

This seems stupid and wasteful to me:
USS Valley Forge Sunk off Hawaii
The four Aegis cruisers decommisioned in the last few years, largely because they have Mk.26 Missile launchers and not VLS, still have plenty of life left in them and are some of the worlds most fearsome surface combatants. If the US doesn't want them, they would make a great flagship for a smaller allied Navy, not to mention their value as reserve assets for the USN. What a waste.

This sort of thing has been happening alot more of late, and it is getting really disturbing.
