Actually, your navy a Colossus class carrier from 1946-48. As for the Upholders, they where the best SSK's in the world for years, and are still in the top five, the lease price for all four is about the cost of building a single one of them and at the end of its team each will be bought for 1 pound sterling. You can't beat that deal. Course a diesel sub is utterly useless to the RCN.Montcalm wrote:Maybe the Canadian government could buy it since they allready bought 4 crappy subs,whats one more piece of junk for our navy.
Some cruise line recently signed a contract to buy her, and will be returning it to service.StarshipTitanic wrote:

I say use the money to buy the SS United States, which would be the perfect SD.net sea platform.
Ah, just found an article on it! Yay, I was always hoping to take a ride on her...Sea Skimmer wrote:Some cruise line recently signed a contract to buy her, and will be returning it to service.StarshipTitanic wrote:

She also just had a major boiler explosion.StarshipTitanic wrote:It's interesting to see that one of the United States' contemporaries, the SS Norway (ex-SS France of The French Line), is also in their fleet. The SS Norway is also the longest passenger ship ever built.
Well, we'd just take over some business like Microsoft with it, and then we'd use some of the funds to keep it working.Anget Fisher wrote:it would also cost for fuel and food and any other thing that is needed to make a carrier work
I know we had carriers and i noticed you got your info on Hazegrey,but their info is incomplete we had at least 4 carrier,maybe 6 i`m not sure but they forgot the HMCS Bonaventure in the list.Sea Skimmer wrote:Actually, your navy a Colossus class carrier from 1946-48.

I never said it was intelligent to run the Norway for this long.Sea Skimmer wrote:She also just had a major boiler explosion.StarshipTitanic wrote:It's interesting to see that one of the United States' contemporaries, the SS Norway (ex-SS France of The French Line), is also in their fleet.

Who said I would care about worth?Stormbringer wrote:A Zero is flying condition would be worth more than that carrier. Better to use some crappy modern planes.
~JasonNot to mention the costs needed to update everything and refit the ship. That would probably cost many times the initial cost of the carrier.Anget Fisher wrote:it would also cost for fuel and food and any other thing that is needed to make a carrier work
And you managed that how? I haven't visited that site in months. I use warships1 as my main referance, though in this case I went off memory.Montcalm wrote:

U.S.S. Oregon would be a perfect example of a ship that should have been saved. One of dozens, actually.Sea Skimmer wrote:Yes. But there are a damn lot of ships which I'd like to see and by all rights should have been saved but end up in the breakers yards. This ship isn't one of them.RogueIce wrote:
Anyone ever tell you you take the fun out of these things?
Hell that ship was fucking saved, then the Navy took her back as an ammo barge and she ended up scrapped post war. Damn, out of all the predreadnoughts built, only a single one was preserved and shes encased in concrete. The scrapping of Goben is another crime.Frank Hipper wrote: U.S.S.

Oregon was absolutely complete, from boilers to breech blocks, until FDR decided to have her scrapped. This was partially carried out, and the fact that she was eventually sold to a Japanese company for final scrapping in 1956 gives rise to the question, did we really need that steel to win the war?Sea Skimmer wrote:Hell that ship was fucking saved, then the Navy took her back as an ammo barge and she ended up scrapped post war.
