Website auction for flagship

摘要

The uk mod's Disposal Services Authority has offered ex-HMS Invincible for sale by tender on its website. The aircraft carrier is listed as sound for towing but not in running condition, and will almost certainly be scrapped, with the MoD offering to pre-rig a tow in order to expedite her speedy removal from the dockyard. The ship is laid up at Portsmouth in generally poor condition, with her four gas-turbine engines and propellers removed and other machinery, electrical and auxiliary ship systems described as not working, locked or not fit for use.
