[edit] Philly

There didn't seem to be that many ships left in Philly, when I flew past last time (June '06). Is it being closed out? Is this list out of date?--J Clear 00:38, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I live here in Philly. I went past it last month, and believe me that there are many ships there.69.136.200.66 00:10, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the dubious tag. There are still plenty of ships awaiting their fate in Philly, check it out on Google Earth at 39deg53'22.75"N 75deg10'59.89"W. I think all or almost all of those ships must be unused since the Philidelphia Naval Base proper was closed some years ago. Chrisfow 16:42, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] General

I'm trying to find some official Navy information about these facilities, including a list of ships that are berthed there. Also, the External links section needs work. They don't really supply much information. Lou Sander 14:20, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

On 8/31/06 I got this email response to my inquiry:

The Navy has three Naval Sea Systems Command Inactive Ships On-site Maintenance Offices, one in Phiadelphia, one in Bremerton, and one in Pearl Harbor. These operate the Inactive Ships Mainteancen facilities in the James River, Va.; at Pearl Harbor; at Philadelphia; and at Suisun Bay, Calif.
