Yeah, apparently history is expensive.

Think we could pull the wool over their eyes and sail it away for Somali coast cruises?

Does it come fully fueled and with jets?

We'll recycle it alright, into the first internet board official yatch.

22,000 tons, how quaint.

We carry more than that in fuel.

Not sure we need that. As long as we can spot weld some tailhooks onto whatever our pilot-type members are flying these days (or catch them in those fancy pop-up cargo net things), we already have our own little air force, right?

I can see it now. No more banhammer. Just a skateboard, a rocket engine, some zip ties and that ramp!

Seriously, did the Brits buy that carrier from the Russians or the Chinese?

Only if they toss in a few Harrier jump jets.
Jolly good show!

Hmmm...sold for scrap to a Turkish concern in August 2016, eh? Can the fiesty old gal still be liberated? Else, sounds like the beginnings of a Jack Ryan-esque caper! Smile

~80,000 members...30 bucks each...throw in a few bucks for an olive green paint job.

I think we can swing it.

Recycle? I think the above plan constitutes recycling.

Designate it the P228.

It's going to look a little odd with tiki lights running down the sides of the flight deck.

Collectively, we could afford to buy it and fuel it. Ammo costs however..........
