And damn the torpedoes

For a mere $30 million, you too can cruise the high seas like a Middle Eastern dictator -- or a comic book supervillain. The Iraq government is putting Saddam Hussein's 270 foot-long yacht up for sale.

Currently moored off of the French resort of Nice, the Basra Breeze "comes in a modest 34th in the league table of super-yachts," the Guardian notes. "For the paranoid billionaire, however, th[e] vessel offers some must-have features." Bulletproof atrium? Check. Helicopter landing pad? Golden faucets? Check. Ship-length secret passageway to getaway pod? Check. Space for surface-to-air missiles? Well, depends on who you ask.
