Remove the missiles, they can be used with whatever Sollie ships are still in service by whoever, Beowulf, with a software upgrade.
The good condition ships can then be equipt with a good civilian crew, some, small number of military crew if need be. Then the other 3500 crew spaces, some enlarged where missile storage was, and used as fancy cruise ships.
They already have the life support, the crew quarters, hyper drives, bottles, etc... Entertainment systems, sensors, communications, wedge and sidewalls. PD and CM enough to ward off any stupid pirates. Might even leave a few missiles on board.
This would allow, with advanced warning, for the visiting of the new SEM systems, Talbot, Silesia, the various other parts, even Torch or Erowhan (sp?)
Maybe Mesa. Plus 300 odd Haven systems.
The ship will scare the crap out of any pirate, any lesser Sollie ship willn't know what to do, and one doesn't need to worry about tech loss should such a ship be seized. Although seizing a SD is easier said than done.
With 130 of them that is about 450,000 passengers. Add in 70 or so damaged ships for parts and Beowulf for those extras that are needed.
Plus as they are not useful for anything else, they should go for scrap value. Ie cheap! Can't build a cruise ship for that.
Could even have mock battles, give the passengers the naval engagement experience.
The ships may be useless as military ships but everything that they do have is top notch.
