In case you're on the market for a used aircraft carrier, the Brits have officially posted an advertisement offering up the HMS Ark Royal, former flagship of the Royal Navy, and time is running out to buy. The only problem is you’re going to have to buy her without seeing her for yourself since the last day to sign up to inspect your future aircraft carrier was yesterday. For those of you who did sign up, tours are scheduled at 8:00 AM on May 7 and 8 at Her Majesty's Navy Base, Portsmouth, UK.
If you're not quite sure you want to buy the 19,000 "tonne" ship as your pleasure cruiser you can always click on the button to add her to your "wish list" until you make up your mind or save up enough cash from your allowance. I mean, she's a pretty old ship; you may want to shop around before committing to her. After all, she comes with no weapons or aircraft and the status of her electronics or engines just can't be confirmed without seeing them for yourself. However, if you absolutely must have an aircraft carrier right this instant, simply click the "add to cart" button and checkout (this actually doesn't work, I tried).
C'mon guys, hurry up and bid. Does China really need to buy another Western carrier?
And yes, we did cover the pending sale of Ark Royal earlier this year.
