Hollywood presuades navy

WI during WW2 Hollywood decides to act as a lobbyist and lobbies the navy to give them all captured ships to use in movies and asks Stalin to buy each captured german naval wessel.

And instead of nuking ships USN sells exess ships to the movie studios

Would it be possible?

And some moviestudios that buy them decides to hold on for a few years and in the 80ths and 90ths when special effects are better we see lots of shipmovies.

Intressting idea or just a fooling one?
 
This would never occur. First why would you give useful military equipment to the movies to keep? Second the movie industry is constantly changing its tastes so that the ships would for the go used for the most part. Finally how much money would it take a hollywood studio to keep a ship in working order? It is just easier to build a set or ask the navy to film on one.

I agree with all of the above. Besides, the purpose of having a navy isn't to capture enemy ships, its to blow them up.
