    I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    mind you the goverment would be pissed if you came home in a fully decked out aircarft carrier......you would be more powerful that the army/navy/airforce put together lol :D

    100 euro and not a penny more!

    Edit--
    But that is not all, the navigation instruments and satellite guidance system and other great instruments cost hundreds of millions of dollars when they were new. You can easily get a lot of money from selling the instruments. Now for a tiny fraction of the original price (which maybe over $ 5 billion US dollars) you can have this wonderful property all for yourself

    Thats a compleat piss take though a brand new nimitzs class super carrier costs around 1,3 billion dollors you can bet your ass a 18,000 ton 30-50 year old angle decked carrier wouldnt cost ANYTHING near that

    If we Get about €11 from every man woman and child in the Republic of Ireland we can afford it. At the current price of $50,000,100: about 40 million yo-yos.
    I say it'd be a better investment than a spaghetti--mad-cow-junction/roundabout.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,267 ✭✭✭Exit


    If we raid Bertie's bank account, we'd probably be able to afford it too.

    Strange - now at $50m - but I seem to remember it was on sale at about a tenth of this price earlier in the year.

    also IIRC the price of scrap steel here is only about €10 per tonne.

    I pledge Euro 2.99...worth every cent

    Yeah, cork is a bit rough. It could do with a military presence ;) .

    count me in for e20. can it be used to invade small counties?

    eg: louth?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,423 ✭✭✭tinkerbell


    I'll throw in the 49m!

    (Not that I have 49m but if I did, I'd throw it in! lol)

    Why doesn't someone jus bat their eyelashes at some really foolish and rich old dude and convince him to transfer his billions into their bank a/c and then we could buy the thing! Woohoo!! :D

    Finally we've found something good for Ireland for Rosanna Davison to do!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,403 ✭✭✭passive


    you're making her captain!!??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    You'd never be able to afford the insurance in this country for it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,051 ✭✭✭Big Ears


    ya the carrier would cost 50 million and the insurance would be 850 times that number at least.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,968 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Right, I've added up the pledges so far and I think we really should be looking at something more like this -

    With some filler and a paint job she'll look just fine! :D

    Mike.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,403 ✭✭✭passive


    we can still invade louth though, right?
