Start Your Bidding on the HMS Ark Royal!
 

In case you're on the market for a used aircraft carrier, the Brits have officially posted an advertisement offering up the HMS Ark Royal, former flagship of the Royal Navy, and time is running out to buy. The only problem is you're going to have to buy her without seeing her for yourself since the last day to sign up to inspect your future aircraft carrier was yesterday. For those of you who did sign up, tours are scheduled at 8:00 AM on May 7 and 8 at Her Majesty's Navy Base, Portsmouth, UK.
If you're not quite sure you want to buy the 19,000 tonne ship as your pleasure cruiser you can always click on the button to add her to your wish list until you make up your mind or save up enough cash from your allowance. I mean, she's a pretty old ship; you may want to shop around before committing to her. After all, she comes with no weapons or aircraft and the status of her electronics or engines just can't be confirmed without seeing them for yourself. However, if you absolutely must have an aircraft carrier right this instant, simply click the add to cart button and checkout (this actually doesn't work, I tried).

I'll take 2 thanks. Errmm...

EDIT: WORKING LINK TO THE BIDDING SITE

*sigh* So many interesting items up for auction lately. Which would intimidate my enemies more? A 19,000 tonne aircraft carrier or Princess Beatrice's freakish fascinator? Decisions...decisions.

in china they have an aircraft carrier theme park built on an old aircraft carrier

maybe Hugh Hefner should built a "playboy carrier"

I was gonna say the carrier, (until I read it doesn't come with planes or weapons), so now I'll have to give it to Princess Beatrice hands down! :O:

Bidding for that monstrosity is at over £5k atm :nope:

I'd turn it into a house. Have her dry docked in my yard and dig a canal all the way to Lake Michigan for when I wanted to take her out.

Oh the many dreams...

Man: "Hey baby - wanna come over?"

Woman: "Sure - where do you live?"

Man: "Anywhere I choose to put my house."

Woman: "Wait - you live in a trailer and you drive a Ferarri?"

Man: "No, silly, how is it not obvious - I live in an aircraft carrier!"

Woman: :nope:

Man: :D

Anthony, that sure would solve the problem of where to park the family jet. :D

Magic

I bid a 4 torp spread from... a VIIB. :O:
