Don't know the name of it...but it's the forecastle of an Ocean-going Tug off the coast of Newfoundland. Here's the ship I was on...a little bigger but the waves are the same height. http://www.ussmissouri.com/vets/images/861007-001.jpg Jimmy |

Any day the waves are bigger that the boat it is a good day to stay on shore. That's why I was in the army and not the navy. I can walk a hellava lot further than I can swim. |

Title: Re: Pic of the Day (Wed) Post by Jimmy_B on Aug 27th, 2004, 5:09pm The Missouri was over 887 feet long, 108 feet wide & almost 210 feet tall. Its displacement was 58,000 tons & it had a 13 1/2 inch armour hull. One turret weighed more then most of todays Navy's ships. It would take more then a little 100 foot roque wave to sink her. ;;D I chose the Navy over the Army cause no matter how bad things got, you always brought your bed & the cook along with you. Jimmy |
