This vessel looks beautiful, she was put on ebay 3 years ago. ú3million she went up to before ti was taken off, and I wept a tear to see that she was bought by the Indians and broken up for scrap  Makes you think though, if you actualy had an aircraft carrier can you just taste how awesome that would be? So in conclusion, would you want one and what on Earth would you do with it? I would buy it, take some pictures and use them as my signature "This is the HMS Vengeance - Kirjava uses them to launch his Templar Fighter Drones". And last but not least a tribute to the Collosus class vessel - o7

I would live on it. Get a bunch of friends and sail around the world. Supply it with a helicopter and a small airplane.
Everyone who wishes to join would have to learn all the steps and songs to The Pirates of Penzance.
I would also name it the Jolly Rogers and even bear the flag and of course we'd have a parrot. Gotta have a parrot.

I'd anchor in San Francisco bay, and run LANs down below and throw parties on the deck. I'd let people rent the sides and flag areas for advertising space and keep the galley and arms rack well stocked in case of zombie apocalypse - and hell, I'd probably build a half-pipe at one end and invite Tony Hawk and Bam Margera to hang out.

If i had enough money for it's upkeep I would sail the sevens seas and ruin pretty harbours by sitting in them all day, like a fat person with an afro taking up three seats in a cinema. _

First off, I would use it to make money through shipping and as a tourist attraction at small cities with harbors where people there don't have **** to do. Slowly I'll build up a few million dollars, then outsource the use of my aircraft carrier (would have to be a nuclear one) to the US military to test the Naval Railguns they'll be installing on the fleet in four or five years. I'll be present during this entire process, hanging out and befriending the various engineers on the team and slowly gaining intimate knowledge of the experimental weapon's inner-workings.
Once they finish their testing I will return any hardware left on my ship, of course, and be paid a handsome sum for their use of my carrier.
Years later, through intelligent reinvesting I will have increased my wealth, and then slowly develop my own version of the Naval Railguns until (after extensive testing in international waters) they are operational and comparable to the 500 nautical mile range the navy is expecting.
Then I wait until either the antichrist or the worst politician ever rises to power. Then, with a single stroke, I save the united states from either the end of the world or the horrible repercussions of another completely idiotic politician.

ROFLMAO!   
Damn, they got me!
What would you do with such a ship?
1) Get the American citizenship, go to my the closest annual firearms conventions so common there, get me a few cruise missiles and a swiss army pocket-knife, fit them and invade a small tropical island.
Then, I would throw all males to the local active volcano, (active or not active it will still be quite a fall), then state as a law that I alone can be the sole male in the island, and that all women are, fron now on, my "private assistants". Yes, the "," are fully intended...
Would then make headlines in the world papers by supporting Iran in the UN. That will get make some bad press in most of the world, but bad press is better than no press.
A few days later I would make a ridiculous claim like "We now officially start our Space Exploration Program!" a few years later I¦ll claim we¦ve been on the Moon, and saw no American flag... More free press, yay!
2) Inspired by the POTC trilogy, I would name it "Black Pearl", get all my friends aboard, raise the mighty flag, and force everyone to sing "In the Navy!" every morning. Once the crew is tired of the song, and mutiny seems just a matter of time, I would crash the ship to the Queen Elizabeth II, before it¦s retired on mid-2008... I¦ll then blame an iceberg (mind you, the Elizabeth will be retired on Dubai) for the accident.
As the international community realizes there can be no icebergs on Dubai, so I will be pressed on to explain my whereabouts during the incident. I will be forced to play my last card, and hire Celine Dion to do a world live concert on the Pearl¦s deck.
Two things can happen then: The UN could surrender, or the Canadians wil be forced to sink the "Black Pearl".
3) Ooooor... Donate it to CCP, but asking them to move the EVE servers aboard. Would then "suggest" them to make the next EVEFest aboard... Of course, they would have to sing "In the Navy!" every morning, but in icelandic, because I would love to hear how it sounds.
[EDIT] In order to gain ssupport of at least 16% of the EVE Community, I would instruct the Devs to do the following things:
A) Fix Amarr. B) The Jove-Amarrr War never happened. Bann to whoever utters the contrary... C) Nerf Gallente/Minmatar. D) The Minmatar Government begs the Amarr to take the back. E) The Nosferatu nerf never happened. F) The mysterious Amarr 5th Frigate is revealed! G) The Nightmare need no Caldari cross-training! H) Eris can no longer write in pink.

Your plan for world domination would fare better with the aid of a spell checker.

Edited by: DubanFP on 09/01/2008 14:16:20 I'd plow it right into a crowded beach. Then escape & pretend to be one of the beach-goers. Just to see people's reactions to an "abandoned" aircraft carrier crashing into a busy shoreline. Just imagine the newspaper headline! ___________

hahaha that is awesome, that would be so cool. Imagine picking up a bird at a club and taking her back to your aircraft carrier lmao. It'd be great, you could live on the ship just outside a countries waters and live tax free, just go to port if you need supplies etc. Shame it'll be scrapped but its probably well worth that in metal etc. and the thing probably costs millions to keep in running condition each year. Would still have loved one for xmas :) _______________________________ [ 2007.06.07 21:07:22 ] FrankyWave > ransom me guys I am joining XElas !!! |
