Way to go getting our hopes up and then dashing them.

Quote
"The ex-Sea Shadow shall be disposed of by completely dismantling and scrapping within the U.S.A. Dismantling is defined as reducing the property such as it has no value except for its basic material content," read the conditions on the GSA auction site.

That seems to have dampened the interest of evil madmen bent on world domination. (The Sea Shadow is said to be the inspiration for the villain's vessel in the 1997 James Bond film "Tomorrow Never Dies.")

To hell with Giligan and the Skipper. I'd buy it if it came with Ginger.


Stealth isn't worth a shit with barnacles? Is that the moral of the story? It was so stealthy drunk sailors couldn't find it after shore leave?
