Want To Own Your Own Secret Submarine Base

Want To Own Your Own Secret Submarine Base

By Pat Dininny News

A couple of weeks ago I saw a story about the US Navy selling off a stealth ship at auction. That ship was said to be the inspiration for the one in the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies. Since I have such a love for all-things-Bond, I thought it would be an awesome new location for the Stray Monkey Headquarters. Plus, it could double as an an office and host incredible Stray Monkey parties. Then I see this today on Yahoo Real Estate:

The Royal Norwegian Navy has put up a secret, mountainside submarine base for sale… and judging by what it looks like, it would work both as a superhero hideout and as a supervillain lair.

Officially called the Olavsvern Naval Base, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) spent $494 million building it back in 1967.

But don’t let that amount deter you from dreaming about owning this clandestine base, superheroes- and supervillains-wannabe: the Navy is selling it for the low, low price of $17.3 million.

Why have the boat when we can have a full mountain-side sub base? We can house many boats there. Plus, it’s Norway so maybe I could find a Scandinavian wife. And it’s Europe so I’m sure even their health care has got to be better than what they give me at Stray Monkey.
