Its only going to be two, and they will be taking the three Invincible Class carriers out of service. ( Stupid idea).
After a period of concept studies commencing in the early 1990s, and following extensive consideration during the Strategic Defence Review (SDR), the current requirement for the Future Aircraft Carrier (CVF) was endorsed in December 1998. The SDR announced plans to replace the current carriers from around 2012, by two larger, more versatile carriers, capable of carrying a more powerful force, including a future carrier borne aircraft (FCBA) to replace the Harrier

Nice looking ships though.

Now we've had some seriously good ideas.

Piano removals - every guy in the south pacific that wants to move from one island to the next with his piano is going to need the sort of cusomized service and transport we could provide. Especially if we had a helecopter to do the lifting and carrying to and fro.

Floating casino - very profitalbe, good idea Mog!!

Fishing charters - or maybe diving charters.

Problem here is that no one will go on a chartered diving trip from Oz after what happened to the guys up in the barrier reef. Couple of yanks chartered the boat and crew, and they went out to the reef for a dive. The guys on the boat had a few beers, and then forgot about the divers (their customers) and went back to port - remembered that they'd forgotten their "passengers" and went back out the next day to find that they'd drowned.

Carrier takeoff and landing thrill rides - another brilliant idea. Easy marketing too "Do you have what it takes to be Top Gun?", big speakers with Dangerzone playing at full ball and we'd have a bunch of rich idiots willing to do it (we'd have to offer a 1 hour training program for them to qualify for the attempt - 50% is a pass ;) )


To be honest, I can't believe some Indonesian general hasn't dipped into his private piggy bank to by the thing already.


However, the voices in my head have just given me the best idea of the lot.

We could train ourselves as a STUNT CARRIER crew, and ensure that we get the lead parts in all the movies that require such. A great example is the movie speed 2. Millions of dollars in computer animation for a crap movie where a boat goes out of control, crashes into theings, and eventually ends up beaching herself by sliding over 95% of a town (uphill of course). No more computer graphics! We'd provide the real out of control speeding CV scenes and crash scene.

I'm sure we could also have done that scene in The Sum of All Fears, where the US CV gets blown up (more computer graphics). Instead we'd do the real things after filling the ship with Australia's famous undesirables (Kerry Ann, Daryl Summers, Bert Newton, Pauline Hansen, David Oldfield, Simon Creane, Catriona Rownetree, that idiot "Doug" from the pizza hut ads, all of the people on Australia's worst Drivers, Anthony "the mouth" Mundine - the list is just endless!!

We pack our ship full of Austrlia's least liked celebrities (Mark jacko Jackson amongst them too) under a guise of being a charity cruise, and then let the studios film as we call in airstrikes to send her to the bottom . . . :D :D :D

Luskan, you forgot to include the cast of Big Brother on that list.

Maybe, if a net was put around the edges, it could be converted to a floating sports venue.

Cricket, Aussie Rules, Soccer, Rugby etc.

Bert could be used as ballast. ;) But surely you've missed a couple of others who should go such as: Allan 'the Lurker' Jones, Skase (if he isn't really dead), all of the idiots who actually vote for Pauline Hansen and David Oldfield, and Bomber Beazley (who could also be used as ballast).

She'd be running so low in the water, we'd be lucky if she'd make it out of The Heads.:p

How in God's name did I forget Skase, Jonsey and Beazley AND the Big Brother mob???

However all the people that voted for Pauline Hansen? Well, last federal election she got a million votes in queensland but somehow didn't get a seat (I love this country and our electoral system!). Million queenslanders on the boat . . . ?

Fortunately, I've had a better idea. We buy it and buy a little water taxi, and then anchor it in the middle of Sydney harbour, and run it as a backpacker hostel, or a low class no bed no breakfast hotel that costs insane amounts to rent.

Imagine the new years party we could be charging people for on the deck of an aircraft carrier in the mniddle of sydney harbour under the fireworks??

Or maybe we could rig up a sail and try to win the sydney to hobart? ;)

Oops, I forgot about the Queenslanders and Hansenism thing :rolleyes:

Although, I did warn that she'd be running a little low :eek:

This is really wonderful information and I would love to read more informative posts like this. I wanted to know if this could help me share the Magic Red Casino sign up bonus that I got from gamblizard.com/casinos/magic-red-casino-bonus website with my friends. It would be really appreciated if you could help me with this.

The ranking of the 50 best casinos in the US was based on the proportion of five-star reviews each casino got on TripAdvisor.
