The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has put an aircraft carrier up for sale on an official used equipment website.
The Royal Navy aircraft carrier Ark Royal was taken out of service earlier this year as part of government budget cuts. It was decommissioned in Portsmouth earlier this month, and is up for sale on www.edisposals.com, a website run by the MoD's Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) arm.
Individuals and organisations interested in purchasing the former flagship of the Royal Navy -- which was launched by the Queen in 1981 -- have to submit their proposals for the ship to the MoD for approval, Reuters reports.
