Saw that on gCaptian the other day. Somebody is gonna be writing some big checks.

Popdigr said almost that same exact sentence.

"Somebody's gonna hafta write an awful big check."

Fargon, I killed way too much time on that site, gCaptain.

Thanx.:)

I get all of my maritime news from them, I signed up for the daily email years ago. Maritime Monday is always interesting the stories are historical and human interest of a nautical bent.

Gravdigr had this in his this day in history.

Not mine, ours.;)

Thanks for posting that, Griff.

I'd read a couple of abbreviated accounts of the disaster, but I hadn't seen that vid before.

On to other points of interest. The next Ford-class aircraft carrier is scheduled for commission in 2025. "And Admiral, it is the Enterprise".

I'm not comfortable with the statement that 'each vessel weighs more than 225,000 tons'. 'Weighs'?. Do they mean 'displaces'?

I'll ask Dad a bit later. He's an old sea dog and I've been barked at once this morning already. I think I'll let sleeping sea dogs lie. ;)
