At some point in the lifespan of the ship, it will become more costly to operate and maintain it than it would be to just buy a new ship. Between new ships being more efficient, and older ships systems just wearing out there has to be some sort of real motivation to keep something running, either function (no other

Considering aluminum is the most abundant element after oxygen and silicon in lava, it's no more polluting than pouring a glass of water out into the ocean.
