Suppose old warship buys several hundred thousand dollars

An Australian couple that was looking for a boat, has tapped a former New Zealand warship.

The couple does not want to use the ship as a pleasure yacht, but has an ecological mission. The Australians want to prevent fuel from leaking from ships that have sunk during the Second World War. Paul told during a diving trip in Micronesia to see how 'black oil' came from a wreck on the seabed.

The duo devised a plan to protect shipwrecks against corrosion, but needed a suitable vessel. After a search via the internet, Paul arrived at the warship, which has special facilities for divers. His partner calls it 'overwhelming' to own such a vessel that has cost 'several hundred thousand dollars'.
