Translator's notes

I've been a fan of the blog wwiiafterwwii. It's a great blog about WWII equipments being used in various, usually not their war-intended roles after WWII.

This blog is about something slightly different: it's not WWII equipment being 'used' after WWII, but getting disposed after it. However considering the amount of ship scrapping after WWII, as well as all the old ships counting on the parts gained from scrapping, this is deemed to be an unavoidable topic.

I personally went to the Shimizusawa coal-fired powerplant and there are some striking similarities between scrapping a ship and decomposing a coal powerplant. After all a 1920s coal powerplant is a lot like a WWII warship in their machinery and electronics.

拆解二战军舰

富兰克林号航母在1966年被拆解的情景。这艘航母在1945年受到重创，而后消耗重金修好，但没有再次被使用过。朴次茅斯拆船厂已经被其他船上拆下来的金属碎片堆满了。

1970年代，齐德尔公司正在从一艘二战巡洋舰上拆除Mk15三联装8寸炮塔。齐德尔拆解了数以百计的二战军舰。

2007年，由Bay Bridge Enterprises拆解的斯芬克斯号(ARL-24)维修舰。本来负责这艘船的拆船厂破产了，这种破产在1990到2000年代越发常见。Robert Hurst摄影。

我思考了很久要不要写这个主题，因为这其实并不完全是“二战装备在二战后的运用”。但我之前其实也写过二战军舰的保存、现代化，以及它们在不同国家之间转手的文章。所以这大概也并不是完全和主题无关吧。
