Official Message from the Free Kingdom Ministry of Foreign Affairs

We are happy to see that more and more nations are entering trade relations with us as a result of the RFTA. The list of the members of our organization has been upgraded, to the best the capability of our clerks. Furthermore, it has been decided to offer businesses in UniversalCommons to take possession of 82 of our old aircraft carriers, on the following conditions:

1. The carriers are being given up as scrap, and will be cut down for scrap directly within the Free Kingdom, with no attempt to remove them as intact warships.
2. All the transportation costs for the ships, and all the work for cutting and dismantling them, will be carried out by the contractors that end up winning the bid, in a safe an efficient manner.

From: Undersea Salvage and Recycling Cooperative.
The cost of properly decommissioning an aircraft carrier using environmentally sound techniques is up to a billion dollars. Most aircraft carriers are turned over scrapyards for a nominal fee. Some are sold to individuals for 2.5 million. We will assume that this is selling the ships for 2.5 million each and pay $205 million for the scrap.

We will use a mix of local labor and automated heavy machinery including construction mecha, which are unarmed and unarmored-- they look like a robotic frame, cranes, automated hydraulic shears, and powered and non-powered exoskeletons with cutting torches. As part of the process, people will enter the decommissioned aircraft carriers and photograph the insides and outsides feeding them into a computer aided designed program designed to optimize the breaking apart of the ship.

After the analysis the sections of the ship to be broken apart are assigned to teams of people and machines working together. Each team is given tablets with instructions to follow. The instructions are adjusted by the foremen who are running the teams to meet local conditions.

We are sending over automated solar barges to pick up the scrap. These ships once again are mostly automated with electronic pickup stations and robots that store the scraps on the ship. Humans and self driving trucks bring the scrap to the ships.

To power the process, we will also be bringing in power ships. These ships are cargo ships with with the tops covered with a mix of wind and solar power. In addition, wave turbines are lowered into the water. There is an onboard plasma converter for garbage and material that cannot be used or material that needs to be destroyed for environmental reasons. Inside the ship, there are very large batteries to store energy.

Some of the carrier aircrafts had old nuclear plants in them. 22 of the power plants from the 82 aircraft are in good enough shape to be refurbished. The rest have to be scrapped and disposed of safely. They cut the plants out of the ship, refurbished the bodies of the plants, added additional shielding, put in new electronics, and restarted them in powerships to continue the project. Much of this required automated equipment and robots because the old plants were dangerous to handle. 4 of the nuclear power ships are given back to Allanea.

Before the actual breakup of the aircraft carrier all of the hazardous material in the carrier had to be removed like asbestos, oils, chemicals, polluted water. These were fed into the plasma converter which left a residue of biogas and blackened rock. Any nuclear material that was found including old weapons would be reprocessed into fuel for the power ships.

The insides and outsides were thoroughly cleaned as well.

At the end of the process, massive slabs of metals, pipes, electronics, wiring, and useful components were sorted for the cargo ships to take away.
