And, bury it in the Sand or Dirt with sliding glass doors at one end facing a good view. Or, add Styrofoam Panels to the outside to make it look like anything you choose. But, they “sweat” in high humidity; so, have a good air flow with air conditioning or circulation fans! Plus, they are “fireproof” and secure (with the outer doors closed), if you are working somewhere else, except on “weekends”.

Bathrooms and Kitchens can be designed in one end, with or without a view, if buried.

Subject: New Ideas for Surplus Aircraft Carriers—-Power Plants & Cruise Ships.

Surplus Aircraft Carriers would make good “Oil Fired Power Plants” if new 7.5 Megawatt Generators were added below deck with the ability to be turned by the main, oil-fired, steam engines, while docked on Oahu or on Kauai, where all new electricity could be sold for about 20 cents per kilowatt-hour. Plus, the Hanger Deck (75,000 sq. ft. by 25 ft. high) could be converted to “1000 Tourist Cabins” by adding about 1000 Surplus Cargo Containers (8 ft. x 20 ft.) stacked 3 high, which would be virtually “fireproof”. Plus, Swimming Pools and Tennis Courts could be added to the Flight Deck.

All Cargo Container Cabins would have 4 twin-size Murphy Bunk Beds that could be folded sideways against the wall, and a Queen-size Murphy Bed option on the end wall.
New Bathrooms (about 4’ x 8’) would be at the back-end of all new Cabins, where all plumbing, water heaters and heat pumps would be installed in a small gap between the rows of new Cabin Units, where all new ductwork would be in the bathroom ceilings.
Insulation between Cabins could be Styrofoam, which would aid soundproofing, too.

Generally speaking, oil-fired power plants are becoming obsolete, due to the increasing cost of oil and oil pollution, but they still make profits, if power can be sold for 10 cents per kilowatt-hour. Plus, Hawaii has very little pollution and good trade winds, which remove all air pollution, and now has the highest cost of electricity (30 cents per KWH).

Or, any Surplus Aircraft Carrier could be converted to a “Traveling Movie Studio”, a “Cruise Ship” or a Cargo Ship. So, below is a list of seven Surplus Aircraft Carriers that may have already been converted to Tourist Museums at questionable profits.

1. CV-59 USS Forrestal, which may now be in Philadelphia, PA.
2. CV-60 USS Saratoga, which may now be about to be scrapped?
3. CV-61 USS Ranger, which may now be in Bremerton, WA.
4. CV-62 USS Independence, which may now be in Bremerton, WA.
5. CV-63 USS Kitty Hawk, which may now be in Bremerton, WA.
6. CV-64 USS Constellation, which may now be in Bremerton, WA.
7. CVA-67 USS JFK, which may now be in Boston, MA.
