Anybody want some top-secret seagoing vessels? The Navy has a pair it doesn't need anymore. It has been trying to give them away since 2006, and they're headed for the scrap yard if somebody doesn't speak up soon.
One is called Sea Shadow. It's big, black and looks like a cross between a Stealth fighter and a Batmobile. It was made to escape detection on the open sea. The other is known as the Hughes (as in Howard Hughes) Mining Barge. It looks like a floating field house, with an arching roof and a door that is 76 feet wide and 72 feet high. Sea Shadow berths inside the barge, which keeps it safely hidden from spy satellites.

Hell, I’ll take it.
I’ll find a lake somewhere, or put it in my backyard.

Maybe I can put a drilling rig on it and secretly suck up all the offshore oil while the Ombambalama administration is looking for the climate to change.

Maybe the Confederacy was onto something with the CSS Merrimack.

I had the same thought, though I believe she was the CSS Virginia.

You are correct, as I have found out since I posted my comment. She was originally the Merrimack, but by the time the famous battle with the Monitor was fought, she had been renamed the Virginia.

It would be perfect for the modern day Ragnar Danneskjöld.
