Lego Aircraft Carrier Complete!

[So]

I built a lego aircraft carrier when I was 14, it wasn't as big as that, but it was big enough to provide a reasonable runway for lego airplanes (about 3.5 - 4 base plates in length, although I didn't use baseplates). I even had a swing wing F-14 sitting on the runway. It's still somewhere in my parents house, covered in dust.

That's insane! All he needs now is a battleship, a few destroyers and a sub.

The Navy doesn't use Battleships anymore, so he can skip that one. They don't really use F14's all that much anymore, either, but they sure look cool

Hey mom, dad, can I have $56,000?

Oh, did you decide to go to college?

No, I want to build an aircraft carrier out of legos.

Sounds good, here you go.

I doubt it.

It looks more like there is some kind of base, just under the surface of the shallow water that it's standing in.
