Tow it?! I'd like to see you get it on the trailer!!

 

Mr. Homestead, I have a one off custom air induction for that.
It needs special oversize, overwieght and over width permits to deliver. But man does it SUCK COOOooooOOOOooOOooooL Air and small cars!

I like the idea of catapulting the make believe wanna be diesels into the triangle.

I'll bring my EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA LARGE GEORGE FOREMAN GRILLS Lid cranes included.

 

Don't think of it as just a catapult.

Think of it as an opportunity to try Skeet shooting with this.......

Ready,........PULL

 

I was gonna bit on the ship, but my F-16 doesn't have a heavy enough of a gear to do carrier landings anyway

Shovel- Did they decomission the Phalanx? That thing is insane..

 

Sign me up for the skeet shooting!

And yes, the Phalanx Close-In Weapons System is all that! The depleted uranium ammo coupled with the guidance was pretty darned cool to watch and play with!

Doubt me and my Benelli stand a chance! But wait, maybe if I mount a Phalanx in the bed of my truck I can be competitive!

Just when I thought I had seen everything on ebay!!! I would like to know what becomes of it wouldn't you all?? Goodluck, Rick

 

What hapened to it? I thought it had a couple days left. I wonder what it sold for and what its new life will be.

 

Well that just sucks!!!!!

I finally got all my beer and pop cans collected, ready to make a smoking bid on that baby, and they pulled the auction!!!!!

It never fails, someone else always has the fun!!!!

Bummed...

 

It was up to 100 000 000 and 400 000 views. About an hour later it was gone, the high bidder had zero feedback so I think the owners pulled it so they wouldn't pay auction fees.

 

ive been gone all weekend, and i didnt get to see what it was...what was it?

 

A decommisioned aircraft carrier.
