Stick her in the Thames, that'll give Boris his airport and below decks she can be used as MP's accommodation


On the other side of the pond, the Saratoga is on her final trip, sold for one penny to the breakers who will earn their profit from the scrap. Must be a few nasties on board to dispose off.

I think they should keep this one.

If for nothing for historical reasons, although where it will go...wont be easy. Such a well built ship we wont see again.
Copy the Americans and pack it with planes and helicopters and use it as a museum. Could even then tow it around the country....possible venue for meetings etc. Not easy and we have lacked the will in the past to do this.
