Isabella: Oh, it's such a beautiful yacht. What's it name?
Carter: Its name? [Isabella nods] USS STRONGER THAN SUPERMAN BATMAN AND THE INCREDIBLE HULK COMBINED.
Isabella: The USS STRONGER THAN SUPERMAN BATMAN AND THE INCREDIBLE HULK COMBINED? Funny. The name on the back was the Red Dragon.
Carter: The Red Dragon?
Isabella Yes. Because this is my friend's yacht. And this is his party.
Carter Your's friend yacht? Man, All these yachts look just alike these days. I knew something was wrong when my key didnt work.

Ha...you get to buy about 1/2 an aircraft carrier. No engines, and I notice, no pumps...so it takes on water.
Then I need to buy my own armaments.

Would be sick to build a half pipe on that, awesome for parties too. I could think of many ideas why one would want a personal aircraft carrier.

Anyone click add to cart? There's no price! Woooo free carrier for me
Would be baller to have "beached" somewhere, a la the Fintry Queen here in Kelowna, awesome for parties.
If I had the money I'd buy it then go cruise into random waters far far away from everything in case N. Korea decides to nuke the world

I'm in for a group buy.
Auto-cross on the flight deck, living quarters and everything else we could ever need below deck. Only problem is we would have to talk to each other in person everyday..

You going to tie a rope around your waste and pull it around the ocean? The ship has no engines.

Are you going to put it on land? Otherwise, how the fuck are you going to get your cars on it?
You can't possibly have that many amphibious cars.

so this aircraft carrier was put into service in 1980?
and they retired it already?
that's a service life of only 30 years.
interesting

What would suck is buying this, and then it gets bombed cause the bombers still think it belongs to the US

We need to recruit him to RS, so we can auto-cross on the flight deck.
