I read a quote in the bug report thread that Aircraft carriers prompt you for an airgroup when you turn them into museum ships. Ignoring the bug, I'm rather fond of museum ships, and tend to grow attached to the best ships in my fleet. I can't find anything in the manual on how to make ships into museum ships, and I can't figure it out in game. So how do I turn my golden girls into museums for posterity?
As an added thing, you can use this thread to post your favorite specific ships you've had, and your own museum ships.

Haven't seen it in Rule the Waves 2 yet, but in Rule the Waves the official way to turn a ship into a museum ship was through a rare event that could trigger when you ordered a ship with a lot of battle stars to be scrapped; I believe that under normal circumstances you could have at most one museum ship at a time.
If there's a specific ship that you want to have as a museum ship and you don't want to leave it becoming one up to chance, I would advise either keeping a ship around in mothballs and pretending it's a museum, or editing the save file to force a ship to become a museum (to do that in Rule the Waves, you need to set Ship#Status=9, though I don't know if that's still the right status in Rule the Waves 2). Be aware that in Rule the Waves museum ships were effectively hidden - they exist in the save file, but they're not in the ships list and cannot be viewed by the player. If it's the same in Rule the Waves 2 and you want to be able to look at your museum ship every now and then, I'd suggest going down the mothballs route.

I see. I never scrapped ships in rule the waves 1. I'd go through 1950 and still have some of the ships from my legacy fleet, which explains why I've never run into it. |

Yeah it’s in RTW2 as well, never had it happen on a carrier(just a CA so far) but it’s probably possible, the event is rare though.

In addition to the museum ship, I have seen the option of using a scrapped ship for gunnery practice, leading to tech progress in Armour |
