I no sooner buy a couple aircraft carriers at full retail, than the UK puts their former flagship up for sale. Darn it!

LONDON - For sale: one aircraft carrier, slightly used.
Britain put the mothballed carrier Ark Royal up for sale Monday on a military auction website.
The former flagship of the Royal Navy was decommissioned this month, four years ahead of schedule, as part of defense spending cuts. Bidders have until June 13 to make an offer. No minimum price was set.

That would make one hell of a fishing charter though....
