The General Services Administration is auctioning off the Sea Shadow. Only a $10,000 deposit required. Expected selling price for the $195 million stealth ship? Around $100,000. Just one catch, once you buy it, the navy will completely dismantle it into scrap before you can take delivery. Honestly, I think this ship would be better as a museum piece than as scrap, but I guess you can't keep all vessels that way. Ah well.

Something like the Sea Shadow should retire to the Smithonian. This is part of techological history and to see it scrapped would be criminal. Mind you, these are probably the same type of people who decided to invade Iraq twice :evil:

Who exactly would need a stealth ship? It would never fit into any of the Smithsonian museums, except maybe the Air & Space museum outside Dulles Airport, and even then, I highly doubt it. In regards to the Iraq war comment, uncalled for dude.

I think he was referring to the Gulf War (technically Kuwait), and Iraqi Freedom in 2003.

I wouldn't be worried about North Korea or Iran, I'd be worried about Bond villains...

First time it was a liberation of Kuwait of UN forces. So US only invade Iraq in 2003, one time.
