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.
