The Ark Royal (yes, the real one) was placed on a military sale list recently:

This is part of the British Military's cutbacks. Apparently the 5th ship to carry the name 'Ark Royal', and the sale isn't final- it's just up for bids. It will definitely be interesting to see if she goes somewhere, though I'm guessing the scrapyard is the most likely option.
Now- I have about 13 mil credits in-game, along with about 40 mil points. I also have half a bottle of Johnny Walker Gold, and a case of Boddington's in my fridge. I think we should pool them all together and make an offer.
Some really good pics from her farewell voyage:
