Grey, 20 Years old, a few hundred thousand miles on the clock, no engine (http://www.edisposals.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/Disposals-Public-Site/en_US/-/GBP/ViewProductDetail-Start;pgid=MieqQ4wkQg8000ArvQ_8K1sp0000sW9No3_1?ProductUUID=38jAqBIQwVwAAAEsaApaBWLN&CatalogCategoryID=VaLAqBELPagAAAED8GeasfoP&JumpTo=OfferList)

Guide price, £900M

If only I had that money... Taking my date back to my place would be epic.

And the world of Snow Crash comes one step closer. Which crazy-rich Christian evangelicist will be the first to own his very own aircraft carrier?

It would be just like Simon and Simon, but different.

Kim Jong-il.

He's probably already clicked the "Add to Wishlist" button.

I laughed for five minutes when I saw that button. I'd like a carrier, and a F-22 and a full flight crew and a Marine battalion and a Patriot Battery and 4 Abrams tanks so my friends and I can play "Tanks" and my own Heli-carrier.

There! Added to my wishlist. Merry Fucking Christmas to me!

I'd like to park it off the shores of the Gulf Coast and turn it into a military themed Casino Boat!

This was the most surreal thing I've seen in a while. As Morat says - "Hey it's Christmas. Where's ma fucking carrier???"

The skateboard ramp on British carriers always made me giggle.

"Availability: In Stock" and the "Compare" button got a good giggle out of me.

I can't read.

Awesome site. I was looking at the cost of second hand 4x4s this morning (ice covered country roads are not as fun as you might think on a motorbike) and now have the option of an Armoured Landrover Defender (http://www.edisposals.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/Disposals-Public-Site/en_US/-/GBP/ViewProductDetail-Start;pgid=MieqQ4wkQg8000ArvQ_8K1sp0000_sS8pF8w?ProductUUID=kpvAqBIQorgAAAEs_4FaBaCk&CatalogCategoryID=VaLAqBELPagAAAED8GeasfoP&JumpTo=OfferList).


Or a Saxon (http://www.edisposals.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/Disposals-Public-Site/en_US/-/GBP/ViewProductDetail-Start;pgid=MieqQ4wkQg8000ArvQ_8K1sp0000_sS8pF8w?ProductUUID=PcHAqBEL2fAAAAEa9YzbFish&CatalogCategoryID=l2jAqBELYFwAAAD_F2Vpc4d5&JumpTo=OfferList).

There's also a FV tracked armoured personnel carrier on there, but what makes it even more awesome and suitable for snow work is its a command APC with 2 ceiling mounted diesel generators. Not only can you beat the snow, but you can beat any power cuts too.

I want to buy that thing, paint it red, and take it to tailgating parties.

HMS Invincible, victor of the Falklands and former flagship of the Royal Navy. Looks like they've already ripped the engines out and it's basically up for scrap. Too bad, I would have liked to have seen some second-rate navy snap it up and refit it. India is expected to be sailing the INS Viraat around for at least another nine years, and that ship was first laid down as the HMS Hermes during WW2.

Dunno, I could see the Scientologists buying it and outfitting it for the coming doom.

I was sort of hoping someone might make it into this: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Rivet_City

A sad end for a fine ship.

I wonder how much they want for it. Certainly not nine-hundred million pounds. Brazil got the Sao Paulo for twelve million bucks ten years ago and are sailing it around today. Granted that's cheap, but still.

I want the fake harrier so I can put it on the roof of my building.  :drill:

I just like the website has an 'add to cart' button.

Who here DIDN'T add it to their cart just because?  :awesome_for_real:

I didn't not add it.

Was that thing a nuclear carrier??

:google: (http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=hms+invincible+propulsion)

In case you're too dense to figure it out, that's a link.

The only nuclear aircraft carrier outside the US Navy is France's Charles de Gaulle, and it's reputedly a piece of shit.

I'd forgotten just how cool the Nimitz class capital ships are. You guys have some fucking stellar technology there.

 :awesome_for_real:

You should see the CVN-78. Nimitz is old hat.

Cool boat, bro. :awesome_for_real:

You can tell those are just mockups that are never going to be produced because the first one relies on working f-35c's and the second one relies on working v-22's.

That second one is a pretty crazy ass design.  Looks like something out of an anime.

I thought the FORD was already under construction.

Yes, it is:

Not going to be done until 2015 though.

That second one looks like the floating fortress home of a James Bond villain.
