If any of you out there were still holding out to buy the first ever stealth ship, then your boat has set sail. The IX-529, or Sea Shadow to its friends, has been sold for a measly $2.5 million. Sadly, the once top secret experimental vessel won't be plying the seas anymore: It's headed to that big scrap heap in the sky.

You Could Own the Sea Shadow Stealth Ship and Historic CIA Barge for a Mere $100,420

Warm up your credit cards because Uncle Sam is having a garage sale! For the low, low price of $100,420, you could be the proud owner of the Sea Shadow prototype stealth ship! And that's not all -- by ponying up all that cash, you'll also be agreeing to take possession of the Hughes Mining Barge (HMB-1), which was reportedly built to hide the CIA's recovery of the downed Soviet submarine K-129. Two great pieces of outdated top secret history for the price of one!
