A Shadow of A Ship

The USS Sea Shadow, the stealth ship built by the US Navy, is up for grabs.

Apparently though, no one can afford the bureaucracy that goes along with it. Too bad, this would be a fantastic piece for a museum.

I know a few Columbian Cartels that would see a use for that. I'm gonna skip the paper work and just pick one up at the next gun show.

I suppose that they could dispose of it in a way that most benefits the taxpayers who funded the dead end that the vessel is, but that's not politically correct these days. It's not consistent with the reigning philosophy of getting America to the 100% taxation that is communism.
Maybe they could put that big, black thing in a park in Chicago and turn it into a race relations museum, you know, part of that "conversation on race" that Holder is so full of. That'd cost the taxpayers more money while requiring additional funding on an annual basis in perpetuity as well. With all the stimulus mania going on, they could sell the idea as “part of the stimulus”. Heck, they’re selling us anything and everything as “part of the stimulus” anyway.

That would make a great pirate hunter for that privateer job I've been thinking about off the Somali coast.

Anybody want in?

Looks like something Lord Helmet would be driving.

Quick! To the Winnebago with wings!

Museum hell! We could sail up the Potomac and re-take DC with that thing!
And I remember seeing "the Hughes Barge" as a kid which was formerly known as the Glomar Explorer and anchored down by Redwood City - hell they built it there, AND the arm that grabbed the sub - for a while when they were analyzing recovered sub-parts at Lockheed in Sunnyvale...

Damn all those economy-killing base closures!
