The British Ministry of Defence has put the aircraft carrier Ark Royal up for sale on an official used-equipment website.
Launched by the Queen in 1981, HMS Ark Royal - the fifth Royal Navy ship to carry that name - was taken out of service as part of government budget cuts and is now open to offers.
In its 30 years of service it has travelled 620,000 nautical miles, played a crucial role in NATO's Bosnia campaign and also been involved in the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Offers, which must be submitted by mid-June, require clearance by the ministry.
