Hi all, new here, very interesting forum. Like you all, I am very much into battleships, especially US and German. This question may have been covered and I am sorry I did not do a search.
When the US Navy donates a warship as a museum, in what way do they disable the equipment in the ship? I volunteered on the NJ before she was moved to her museum berth and I wandered the ship as much as I could. I came across a room that had huge piece of equipment that looked like a bunch of bolts were removed from the covers. This was located a few decks down from the forward conning tower. Do they disable the engines, guns any other equipment? How? Everything on board looks so solid and frozen in place like it is unusable.
