Weird Ship
« on: June 01, 2017, 08:11:28 PM »


Sixteen fishing lines.

"Watcha usin'?"

"Snapper Wiggle Lure.  Blue.  You?"

"Worm on a hook."

"Gedouddahere.*"

It's a seismic sensing research ship, extremely stable, pulls seismic sensors behind it on those lines.

^Nice crew.  See 2:13

Double-taked it when I spotted a picture of it.  The ship.  The crew member, too. >:D

Looks like a ship that had about 80 percent cut off the stern.

The Naval research office's RP FLIP, is arguably even weirder.

Surely you are not suggested a towed sonar or magnetic array to hunt submarines, are you?  :angel:

I didn't know we had Senators with GB accents.  I knew we had a bunch of Sens and Reps with idiot accents, though.

I've read about that one before. Amazing ship. I'd love to go out on that one.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

The first time I caught a video on that flip ship as it tipped up, I was thinking, "What's the matter with those guys?  You've got life vests, jump, you idiots!"

In my own puny defense, it was part of an automatic ongoing series of videos and I kinda glanced at it at the beginning as the ship was tipping and they showed the crew.

Flimsy excuse, though, huh?
