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:)

Mac, that sounds like a bad Bond movie. :D
-
i bet i could land a cessna on the back of that thing 1st try.

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

Skyraiders and F4s? good grief.
This is HMS Vengence. She should have Sea Fury's.

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.

So...you will need some missionarys...what religion do you want to convert them to?
Did you mean Covert ? :D

yeah, the expenses to make her seaworthy are going to be pretty impressive, as are the expenses to convert her to scrap.
-
what a cool name too HMS Vengence, be sad if it is scrapped.
I would stick some Sea Fury's, Sea Hornet's and maybe a Sea Vixen or 2 on it and go invade a medium sized country :D

I agree that it would cost a huge amount to make her seaworthy again...but to turn her into scrap? Huh?
What about the running costs? Fuel, oil, lubricants etc etc etc. Who is going to crew the ship? Who will pay their wages? There are so many costs to keep this ship running that the purchase price would end up being pocket change in comparison.
Of course you could turn it into a Museum piece and charge $5 for people to tour the ship...you might break even in about 40-50 years on that one, assuming you have the cash to pay for liability insurance which would be huge...I mean God forbid some dry cleaner from Cleveland should stub their toe while on board...the lawsuit possibilities stagger the mind.
Swoop...aww come on man. We're still buds. It's just bidness. :)
