I think this would make a nice Subsim community project.

Only 50 grand. If we could gather a few people here on subsim we'd sure have the biggest toy out of any other forum I know of :D

Really though, 195 Million inot development, only 50 grand to get into the bid..

"The ex-Sea Shadow shall be disposed of by completely dismantling and scrapping within the USA," the description on the sale item reads.

:wah:

If you haven't read the article on the front page do so.

We could get it free, they were trying to give it away to
Museums.

Says it all for me:


So, what do you get when you buy a $195m stealth ship from the US military?

Apart from the fact that it looks like the kind of thing the inventor of the word "awesome" was looking at when he first said "awesome", not a lot.

Because sadly, you have to scrap it.

If you have read the lower part of the article then you'd know 50k buys you the right to scrape it only. IOWs you can only enjoy tearing it down. And selling the scrap metal. But that is not what you are after, right!?

Such a waste ... I could've put a sail on it or enter her in the Christmas boat parade, anything besides waste her for scrape metal.
