HMS Ark Royal to be sold for scrap.

via the Telegraph.
HMS Ark Royal, once the bullish symbol of Britain’s defence diplomacy, will follow the ignominious fate of her sister ship HMS Invincible by ending life as a razor blades.
There had been strong indications that she would sold to a British diving company and sunk off the Devon coast to become a major scuba diving attraction.
An estimated bid of £6.5 million was submitted to purchase the ship that as a diving reef could have contributed up to £30 million to the local economy
Wow.

Just fucking wow.

Read the entire article but the other options were for the ship to be turned into a casino in China, a museum, a London heliport or a NIGHT CLUB!
