I've thought a lot about what a (probably non-canon) 2010ish US Navy would look like in the T2k setting; there's a lot of "display" or museum ships that are going to get pressed back into service for coastal security; it'll be a long time before the US can contemplate global power projection again, so I think about stuff like the USS Intrepid, the USS Alabama, other ships like that which they might attempt to get running again. Of course I have no idea what is involved; the very attempt might be laughably hard to the point that it would be easier to build new ships from scratch than to try to re-equip and re-float vessels like that.
