That is pretty amazing. I notice there are no planes on the flight deck. Was this during her sea trials.????
I've been on deck for those turns. Where the real action is, is on the mess decks. Tables and drinks sliding around everywhere. It really is an adventure trying to dodge an oncoming table barrage while holding a tray full of food and walking on the wall.
No way that thing could do that on it's own power not to mention it would be leaning the other way.
That just don't look right. There has to be something unforeseen. No way that thing could do that on it's own power not to mention it would be leaning the other way.
Any other info on the pic?
The pic is very correct, nothing unforseen. She displaces 97,000 tons and for the most part has a flat hull. Very top heavy so won't "corner" like your typical 21 ft bayliner with a v hull. She leans hard. :biggrin:
