For the Survivalist who has everything...

Hey! Wanna buy an aircraft carrier?

Hey, Mayberry! I found your ride! No engines, alas, and I assume the reactors have also been pulled. Crap - dunno what I'd do with a ship, but I could use a nuclear reactor and generator. Then I'd need to make some friends in Iran - or maybe one of those Mexican drug lords I keep hearing about would trade me some fuel for gunz...

I'm thinkin' a couple hundred Evinrudes will push her along right nicely : ) Could be an excellent foundation for the "seasteaders" to work off of. Nothing like a floating airport to draw in the big money investors...

She never was nuclear powered..had 4 big honkin' gas turbines. IF a person had more money than sense, a set of ALCO diesels would push her along at a much slower speed. With that set up, she'd be damn near perfect for the base of a sea-steading operation. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Invincible_%28R05%29

In the sub service, we always called them targets.
