Yeah, and then if they start getting uppity about living conditions,
you can float the whole shebang out to sea some night and use it for a
Shootex! Right, Weeks? That's a great idea you had there.



Well, if they move it out 12 miles, they can start their own
casino and get rich like the American Indians. It was only
a matter of time before some sicko would think of sailing
the thing out into open water and sinking it. 8-) But that
sicko wouldn't be me.

Seriously, in Phoenix, the very popular sheriff puts prisoners
in tent cities in the desert by the airport. At least on this
carrier, they could pitch tents in the hangar deck. That would
a least give the homeless people some real shelter. Some of
the carriers that I have seen have stacks of rooms for the
aircrews right under the flight deck. These rooms were left
vacant after the aircrews were moved under the hangar deck.
At any rate, the would make great dorm-style space. Or if
you don't want the homeless to get this facility, how about
making it into a jail? We are building half-billion dollar
prisons at fever pitch rates, yet we still cannot keep up with
all the people we want to put in jail. How about a floating
jail put 20 miles out to sea. There would be no escapes.

I'm quite sure there are existing shelters in your area on dry land. A
carrier seems like a very big & expensive solution.
