The Ark Royal (yes, the real one) was placed on a military sale list recently:

This is part of the British Military's cutbacks. Apparently the 5th ship to carry the name
'Ark Royal', and the sale isn't final- it's just up for bids. It will definitely be
interesting to see if she goes somewhere, though I'm guessing the scrapyard is the most
likely option.

Now- I have about 13 mil credits in-game, along with about 40 mil points. I also have half
a bottle of Johnny Walker Gold, and a case of Boddington's in my fridge. I think we should
pool them all together and make an offer.

Some really good pics from her farewell voyage:

Portsmouths rather large with quite enough space to allow that "through deck
cruiser" or two to be anchored in the middle. Problem I reckons that it would just be
a money waster as not enough people would want to go visit it.

Who's Charlie Sheen? (Sorry- but I can't stand the guy, aside from 'Hot Shots')

If anything, Altsein's posting of the Belfast just shows that the Thames is already too
crowded for another ship. I'd like to see it as a museum floating museum somewhere, ala
the USS New Jersey or the USS Intrepid.

I just hope he shuts up and stops shooting his career in the foot.

But I digress.

@Alstien

Learn some respect when talking about older ships. Also you say hedge hogs are fake? Come
to canada i'll take you to the Naval War and maritime heritage museum so you can see a
actual Hedge Hog maybe you'll learn what there power actually was at that point.

Also Alstien did you bother to look at the guns on that ship? There 6 inch Guns, mainly
from what we see in NF on the Edinburgh Class Cruiser (Which in real life was a sub class
of the Town Class Cruiser). The picture you posted is the HMS Belfast (C35).


@Topic

It's a shame to see the ark going out like this, but like storm said there is room for
profit if you could get the jet's for it you could actually do free-lance work to stop the
pirates or to help do security over libya etc... multiple jobs you could do.

I would prefer to see the Ark be a museum but i doubt that'll happen.

I'm all for server growth but Altsein is one player I strongly doubt that anyone will miss.

Can't something horrible "accidentally" happen to his account?

The only one laughing here is you. One sad little man...

Anyway, it sure would be nice to visit some of the old battleships. Why they didn't do
this auction with others, I'm unsure. The US happily preserves old warships though.
Just wish other nations did.

Talk about sad. How about the Nagato being blown up at Bikini Atoll with the Prinz
Eugen after the war? Tirptiz being scrapped in Norway. :(
