you know it ll be a good idea to turn this 32 year old vessel in some kind of hotel museum like the one in New York i think it ll be more profitable that way .also most of the countries would go for new and relatively cheap Russian carriers .
just my 2 cents

No it will not be profitable. We have faced similar situation with our aircraft carrier and that takes lot of maintenance cost etc.

I'd give 100 bucks for that Carrier but only if they are willing to give harriers along with it
