Ex-Navy ship HMS Invincible in website auction

[Evil Eye]

HMS Invincible has been put up for auction on a military disposal website.



Invincible is being sold by the Disposal Services Authority, which says it has secured receipts of more than £900m for the MoD in the past 16 years.



The Barrow-built light aircraft carrier, which has an estimated metal weight of 10,000 tonnes, will almost certainly be sold for scrap, said naval expert Jon Rosamond.



HMS Invincible was decommissioned after 25 years' Royal Navy service in 2005.



Mr Rosamond, editor of Jane's Navy International, said: It has been offered by the MoD for non-warlike purposes.
