HMS Invincible

[Zort Boy]

Is anyone looking at purchasing the Invincible from the RN now that it has been retired?

Maybe we could pass the hat around I am sure Milforum could use a yacht.

Would the Royal Navy donate it to some historical organization to become a museum (like what is done with several retired USN ships)? I had a limited visit of the Invincible when she stopped in New York a few years ago and I think she would make an excellent museum (and would hopefully remind the British public why they need carriers ).

From what I gather India has considered it in the past but I as the vessel wont be put up for sale until 2010 I would be surprised if they were still interested.

I think Japan should buy it.

And why's that? Because they're such nice folks?
