To. Be fair 25 years is a pretty reasonable life in that era. Not too massively short.

USS Dale, commissioned 1934, modernized three times in the next eleven years, then scrapped 12 years after commissioning:

Looks like a steampunk fetishist pleasure yacht. Just needs a dirigible parked somewhere. Love stuff like this.

Yes.  Here's another ship of the same notional class (same cost and specs, different designer), the Bouvet:





I love these French predreds.  So steampunk.

What's the phenomena where you see something really expensive on sale, and the huge saving makes you really want to buy it even though it's still out of your price range and you probably don't need it?

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
