When San Francisco ran into an undersea mountain in '05, her forward section was replaced with that of the Honolulu. Honolulu was scheduled to be decommissioned and had not been through refueling. While older, San Francisco had been through a refuel/upgrade cycle about 3 years prior.
It was cheaper to replace San Francisco's forward section, with Honolulu's, than to refuel/upgrade Honolulu as a replacement.
Would seem to me, that if Miami has not yet gone through refuel/overhaul, the Navy might be better of decommissioning her, and cycling her refuel/overhaul funding back into fleet maintenance.
