It was kept very quiet but Invincible was recently sold for scrap so we only have Illustrious left which is just coming to the end of a refit.

Seems bizarre that this famous old ship is being advertised on the same web page as some flabby old RIBs and a few tatty motor boats.  What an humiliating end!
