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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
