Would you like to buy an aircraft carrier?

There's one for sale in Britain:

Carrier HMS Ark Royal put up for auction on MoD website

The Royal Navy's former flagship was decommissioned two weeks ago after 25 years in service as part of the government's defence budget review.

Proposals for it include turning it into a commercial heliport, a base for security personnel during the London Olympics, or a school and nightclub.

7. Deck "Ten Forward" the Star Trek Lounge...

El-Aurian Guinan will mix you your favorite drink. Vulcans will play chess with you. Ancient one eyed one legged red shirt survivors will tell you never to beam down on any away team with Captain Kirk.

Data will offer to show you something in the rest room. Just say no. He's been partying down on deck Six with The Village People, "In the Navy"


Where can you find pleasure
Search the world for treasure
Learn science technology
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
On the land or on the sea
Where can you learn to fly
Play in sports and skin dive
Study oceanography
Sign up for the big band
Or sit in the grandstand
When your team and others meet


In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on now, people, make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can't you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on people, and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)


They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit

2. IIRC, the Brits have 2 carriers. They are building another one to replace this one.

Make a hell of a casino.

6. Actually they only have one remaining (HMS Illustrious).

3. I'd build a Supercross course on the top deck and sponsor...

a "last man standing" race for a cool million bucks.

The winner would be the last guy who hadn't flown off into the ocean on his bike.

4. No. Don't have room for it right now. Guess I shoulda cleaned the basement.
