Own your own secret submarine base!

Now this would be cool....

Quote:
Officially called the Olavsvern Naval Base, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) spent $494 million building it back in 1967.


But don't let that amount deter you from dreaming about owning this clandestine base, superheroes- and supervillains-wannabe: the Navy is selling it for the low, low price of $17.3 million.

Travel Channel's "No Reservations" . . . Tony and Zamir thought that a Russian one would make a great disco bar.

Reminds me of Dr. Johnson's famous quote upon the pyramids which deserves to be read in connotation to this folly.

"The pyramids seem to have been erected only in compliance with that hunger of imagination which preys incessantly upon life, and must be always appeased by some employment. Those who have already all that they can enjoy must enlarge their desires. He that has built for use till use is supplied, must begin to build for vanity, and extend his plan to the utmost power of human performance, that he may not be soon reduced to form another wish."

Very cool, that would be a good HQ for an international arms shipment company.

I could probably swing the base, but I would have no money left for the actual submarines....
