Beautiful footage and a fitting tribute for these two ladies and all those who served with her.

You did them right! Thank you for it. I really liked the part of the clip where you had the lighthouse in the foreground. It was as if the lighthouse was bidding them farewell. They served with the crews aboard them with distinction.

As a US Navy Veteran and also having the ship I served aboard decommissioned and scrapped, your video brought back some very fond memories of my time at sea.

Pity they had to be towed though, would have been more fitting if they went under their own steam

Completely agree! Would give them a last measure of dignity.
Sometimes, especially if there are still commissioned ships of that class, the decommissioned ones are used as a source of spare parts.
