I know it is a bit early but if anyone was wondering what I may want for my birthday, I just discovered a great gift idea. The Australian government is selling the ship below, along with 23 other ships, 70 combat aircraft, 110 other aircraft, 120 helicopters, 600 armored vehicles, up to 12000 other vehicles and a range of communication systems and weaponry.

| HMAS Manoora, originally built for the US Navy but sold to the Royal Australian NAvy in 1994 |
The Australian Minister of Defense hopes the fire sale will "reduce costs, generate potential revenue and provide opportunities for Defense industry involvement", and provide an opportunity to reinvest the generated revenue in new military equipment for the future.
To be considered a qualified buyer, the Defense Force requests a "Request for Proposal" by a Fall deadline, so please get your move in time for my birthday in September! Any of the equipment up for sale would make a wonderful gift!
