  When starships are decommissioned, do they just defang them and sell them to commercial interests, as is often the practice in SciFi, or do they scuttle them, as is common practice for combat vessels IRL?

    I dunno what the standard practice is, but Geordie has a museum of fully functional, and apparently armed, ships. At the very least he rebuilt the Enterprise D over the last 20 years, and managed to get her operational from just the bridge with a command crew only.
