The ship in the OP looks like a swayback.   I guess with enough Vodka, the decks are level.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

We don't. Pretty big hunk of booster rocket gets ejected with high pressure steam and the rocket motor doesn't light off till it clears the water. We do however launch cruise missiles horizontally out of torpedo tubes as well as vertically.

With all the Hunt for Red October quotes already in the thread you didn't get that one??

BTW, the correct response is "Sure, but why would you want to?"

I probably have a slightly different take on that movie than most folks here. =D

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
