Hail Britannia

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

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.
