In order to qualify for the free boat, you have to take it's moveable barge as well. It's in the article.
I think the barge is something like twice the size of the ship, so it's been a no go for any naval museums who it has been offered to.

Cougar is 30' away and you don't know it is there. Now you want to be the Captain of something the size of a house. I see anything smaller than 30' getting crushed on the Pueblo Reservoir. Pieces of wood and fiberglass for miles. [LOL][Luck] Huh? What boat?
On second thought that may not be such a bad idea. [Muaha]
I does need water for the sides so we can have a giant "slip and slide" on it. [Coffee] So just how many gallons per mile does it get?
Either way, count me in! I can't cook, so don't ask me to be the ship's cook... I can't clean so don't ask me to swab the deck ye landlubbers, but dammit if I can't play video games pretty damn well so I guess I can be the helmsman... I can drive anything with wheels (and many others without).
Oh did I mention- I can provide quite a few busty wenches! Garr!
I'm in. Don't worry about the morally flexible young ladies, I've got things covered there.
Seriously, how the hell does nobody want this thing? I mean sure you need to take the barge with it, but damn you know how much cash you could get at the scrap yard for that?
That is what I'm thinking. Take the minelayer and the Sea Shadow, then just sell or donate the minelayer to a scrap company.
Unless it's a Navy stipulation that they MUST remain together...
Let's go smoke some somali pirates!... on the other hand I guess the name "Party Barge" still works.
