If the problem of maintenance cost arises then the yards can always be mothballed.
I don't think the AI knows how to Mothball or Scrap, and I know it can't Analyze. I suspect it can't Retrofit, either, but I'm less certain of that.

Cap'n Q

island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft
