I'm holding out for a Nimitz Class nuke.  I figure they'll start popping up for sale in 2040-2050 or so.

I saw a article a few days ago about a guy who posted a ham sandwich for sale.

US taxpayers could buy it and let the UN know that it's their new world headquarters.

Duplicate topic.

It is the HMS Vengeance, a light fleet aircraft carrier of the Royal Navy's WWII Colossus Class.
It was loaned to the Aussie's in 1954 and then sold to Brazil in 1956.
It was renamed "Navio-Aeródromo Ligeiro (NAeL) Minas Gerais".

Probably be a bitch to get that back to Illinois.

It didn't say anything about coming with a trailer.

Damn I wish I could go back in time and invent Ebay.  Imagine the cut they get for that auction!

I'm going to bid on it.

After that I'll have it towed to CampyBob's place for use as a target at the next Bulletfest.

You could win this carrier off e-bay. Cruise by USN Ports, and see if you can "confuse" any pilots.

Not unlike an Israeli fighter that landed on a U.S. carrier.

And perhaps a "Valet Parking" sign on your own Carrier? [;)]
