mikerider Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 This sailed thru town this morning. Or actually out of town. Just built and first voyage. It couldn't make the first curve in the river and a tug had to pull the stern sideways to get thru the curve. Gazillions over budget and way past estimated completion date. It is supposed to be less able to be picked up on radar. It is supposed to look like a fishing trawler from afar. And only takes a small crew to run it. I can't for the life of me figure out how the captain can see his surroundings. And, proudly made in Maine. Not sure if true, but I have heard the billions to build this is nothing compared to the cost of weapons and electronics. It must be stealth, camera wouldn't allow a clear shot of the ship, really bizarre. Seriously, photos are all washed out. It was pretty comical, as for the past year anyone seen taking a picture of this ship, which could be seen from Maine's busiest highway, were reported to the police, who had to tell the people they could not photograph this ship and were asked to delete the picture (with a pretty please and you don't really have to delete it, the police can't force you). Today there were thousands of photos taken! mike But still my favorite way to travel on open waters: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
