I bid $1 USD, as long as it can be kept indefinitely in a Brazilian port, for free, as a museum piece. |

We could all go in together and make it the official TMP yacht and floating game convention. |

I say we all chip in and buy it ‘to turn it into a floating casino'. Worked for the Chinese. |

Put a trolling motor on that puppy and it would make an excellent bass boat. |

I'm in for the floating casino "deal", if we can find a nice, Caribbean island or sand bar to park it on/around. Not sure how seaworthy it is, so better to be safe than sorry. |

Is there actually any international interest in such a vessel? |

If it could be made operational imagine the angst in the PRC & North Korea if South Korea bought it and loaded it with F-35's. |

Considering its south america… I expect a "narco-state" to acquire it and make use of it in some fashion. Floating factory with helicopters. I mean, they have the money to buy it AND they can get trained personnel to man it. Money talks… And being in international waters, I would imagine nothing to stop them either from their manufacture and shipping of their product. Granted, they use subs now but still… Surface radar and vectoring of their choppers to points NOT covered by patrols. Be an interesting story/game idea for a spec ops assault on such a craft. |
