We should not need to revive them for any reasons outside of a major catastrophy (Flood/Earthquake/Sunami etc.) or perhaps worst case screnario War. We should be smart enough to keep them in reserve since they can offer many other services besides warfare. If needed the could be revived very quickly as far as power generation goes. Consider it a mobile Red Cross station. We wouldnt require the props to spin but the generators onboard could generate significant power to say a flood ravaged city/cities power grids etc. The hangars could be operating rooms the boilers providing heat/power, Birthing for the homeless and displaced. The mess and spaces affiliated for ready made kitchens. The flight deck for construction/demolision machinery basing and air operations for helo support.They can provide permamnent housing until some level of normality is restored. Plus they can carry all the stores needed in these times. Just tow in place and moore. Not that simple but reasonable as far as timing. It would be times such as this they would be well worth their cost to have in storage and somewhat prepped.
