Looking for a yacht?

If anyone is in search of a luxury yacht, you are in luck. After winning a legal dispute over its ownership, Iraq has decided to sell Saddam Hussein's luxury yacht. This boat comes well equipped with multiple swimming pools, salons, and even a secret passage way. And hey, if you think you'll be encountering any unwanted visitors, there is also a rocket launching system on this 269-foot superyacht! Talk about being prepared.

French authorities confiscated the boat on January 31 after docking in Nice on the Mediterranean coast. While court's settled the dispute over the ownership of the boat, it remained in Nice. A yacht brokerage firm previously tried to sell the yacht for a total of $35 million. Pretty decent amount I'd say for a yacht. Iraq stopped this though claiming the yacht still belonged to their country.

So, who is looking for a luxury yacht equipped with rockets? Going once, going twice...
