Another aircraft carrier for sale
I'm in for a buck.
UK Aircraft Carrier Ark Royal For Sale On Internet LONDON — For sale: one aircraft carrier, slightly used. Britain put the mothballed carrier Ark Royal up for sale Monday on a military auction website. The former flagship of the Royal Navy was decommissioned this month, four years ahead of schedule, as part of defense spending cuts. Bidders have until June 13 to make an offer. No minimum price was set. The government sold another carrier, HMS Invincible, which was bought for its metal and towed to a Turkish scrap yard. The Ark Royal could be sold for scrap, but there has also been a proposal to park it on the Thames river as a heliport. Britain is reducing the army by 7,000 soldiers and slashing billions from its defense budget as part of deficit-reducing cuts.

Shouldn't one of our English folk do an inspection before we make an offer?

The only honest answer is world domination. Though someone should maybe call to see if that would be considered an "acceptable" answer before we bid. If not, we might need to soften it to "invade Iceland" or something. |

I'd look for some kind of online coupon code before you pulled the trigger on that though. Last edited by molson : 03-29-2011 at 04:05 PM. |

Too bad we can't leave comments on their site. I was going to ask if they had 2 submarines, 2 battleships, 2 destroyers and 2 patrol boats so we can a have a life size game of Battleship.

Pirate Radio anyone? I am guessing you could put one hell of an antenna on this thing.
