65 000 tons of steel is worth quite lot. You don't have to sell them to someone who will use them as carriers! (I don't advocate this COA)

There's about 28000 te of DH32 grade steel in each one. Plus a fair bit of copper, cabling etc.

Scrap price for steel atm is about £200/te. Call it £6M per ship, plus the copper & cable. If we got £12m per ship I'd be surprised.
