Damn.  Only $4.5m.  Rip, you can afford that.

What about planes?  It must have planes.

I thought the $4.5M rather small.  Any decent millionaire could buy that thing and have it patrol the waters off their island.

Some F-4s and Intruders and you've got enough fire power to scare someone:)

I'd put a couple of Skyraiders, some Intruders and F4s.

What would I do with all those snails?

Better to send a convert operation into the wine regions and burn the barrels and fields.  Force them to sober up.

yeah, the expenses to make her seaworthy are going to be pretty impressive, as are the expenses to convert her to scrap.
