Saddam's Love Boat Sets Sale

Saddam Hussein’s secret pleasure super-yacht can be yours—yes, yours!—for just $34 million. Moored off the French Riviera, away from the pesky bombers that destroyed the late dictator's other yacht, the Ocean Breeze was put up for sale last week by a British brokerage firm, the New York Post reports. The lucky buyer gets both a floating palace and a veritable fortress.

Saddam had the ship built in 1981, but it was mostly his backup. It’s stocked with the usual high-end features—gold faucets, private bedrooms, a mini-hospital—and some Hussein specials like bulletproof glass, missile storage, and a helicopter pad. Adding to its appeal, the secret passageway, and the escape mini-sub it leads to, should be real conversation pieces. (More Saddam Hussein stories.)
