Anyone want a free stealth ship?

All you have to do is call the US Navy.

I think it would make an awesome gadget for someone.

It'll end up on the next season of Grand Designs with somebody trying to make a house boat out of it

[AlexKP]

That's an astonishing freebie!

Don't think I could get it in my pond though....

[Jasandjules]

Holy Crap surely the Navy should take this.......

Or a bond villain is getting a helluva lift up in the game of world domination.

Id love to hear the conversation with the marina when you ask to shore up

[Dupont666]

I wonder if i could get the container barge up the thames and turn that into a house boat and this would be my runaround

Does it come with Teri Hatcher, Jean Todts' wife and a large drill?

ETA: Just read that they are giving HMB-1 away along with it. HMB-1 is actually more interesting for me as it was part of Project Jennifer, a cold war secret mission of epic proportions that reads like the script for a Bond movie.

If I had it the first thing I'd do is change my name to Canal Pest

Alright I'll just go with Sea Pest. But running that up a back canal of a dreamy East Anglian .....

[Cheeky Jim]

Well, if the US Navy is prepared to tow the docking barge through the Panama canal or all the way round the southern tip of Argentina over to Blighty, then I'm pretty sure I could moor it just out of UK territorial waters....if a big wave happened to scuttle it...oh dear...

Then we have a nice stealth boat to live on without the expense of a hugh unneeded dock... I would however, put a few extra windows in though...looks terribly dark..
