The Mind Is Boggled

The hulk of the USS Forrestal, the first super carrier of the U.S. Navy, has just been sold for one cent. [LINK HERE]

To put this in perspective a scrap dealer in Minnesota is paying 165 dollars a ton for steel. That would work out to 9.9 million dollars for the Forrestal. Either there is a serious overhead cost in scrapping the ship within the United States or someone made really good donation to The Big Zero.

Questions?
