At first, I was wondering how they'd be able to legally sell off a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to an ebay buyer, but then I read the fine print. I'm sure some local navy guys would be able to clarify, but that's a WWII baby carrier. It's much smaller than you'd expect. An Iowa-Class battleship from the same era would absolutely dwarf this.

Fairly expensive, really.
perhaps compared to a Nimitz class or equivalent, but with a deck just over 2 football fields long and 119 feet wide, and a crew of 1300, that ain't too tiny
