The Danger Ranger
 

The USS Ranger Aircraft Carrier has made it through the inlet at South Padre Island headed to the Brownsville Shipyard for dismantling. So much history in this ship sad no one bought it for a museum piece.

I would, but have no place to put it

I would be the redneck king if I could buy that and put it on a Kansas lake.

If I could get it to Colorado, it would be a really cool bed and breakfast up in the mountains.

It would look like Noah's Ark crashed into the side of the mountain.

Could of been yours for 1 zinc and copper plated penny.

I currently work at Patriots Point, home of the Yorktown. It's a freaking maintenance nightmare taking on these old ships. Great place to work, but incredibly expensive upkeep.
