Anyone up for buying a minesweeper?

The norwegian navy is selling it "veteran" minesweepers on an internet auction the 30. april. These vessels are in fact brand new (one constructed in 1997) and has several times served as flagvessel of the NATO minesweeper force. This is just hopeless! We bought 5 frigates and the navy has to sell everything it has in order to be able to just have 3 of them! In adition the politicans forced the navy into buying new patrolboats they did not want! I'm enraged!

But anyhow, anyone has 15M$ to use you will get a floating cabin. (The boats are stripped of engine and weapons)

It's a pity the £ is so weak at the moment or I might have been interested in purchasing a couple.

Socialists are great at destroying defence forces.....National socialists being the exception, of course.
