The Royal Navy is selling the HMS Invincible. Just the ticket for those lazy jaunts around the Eastern Shore...

The Conservative Wahoo
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

Hey CW, could you or Mudge or BigFred drive this boat? What's the minimum crew this thing would need? Is it nuclear or diesel powered? Does it come with all accoutrements and equipment?
You know this might be a good investment opportunity. There's already a huge market for holiday cruises so I'm sure a carrier would appeal to say...eh... veterans, military buffs, thrill junkies, emotionally disturbed gun nuts. All you need do is hire a couple of alkie burned out ex-Harrier pilots (any Pub in London probably has two or three) to take people up and man you've got yourself a damned floating amusement park. Can you imagine how many blackjack tables that hangar would hold? A cash cow baby!
I'll talk to my banker, you boys think about it.
Let me know how the banker chat goes...
Tell you what, Hammer. You buy it, get financial (and legal) backing to run Red Sea cruises for afloat pirate hunts and I'll "drive" it for you. But I want my own Barrett M107s mounted on each bridge wing.
You got yourself a deal Mudge but what good is a sniper rifle on this thing? How 'bout a Ma Deuce and a nice surface to air missile system of some sort? Something with a little umph.
