Odd-Ball Picture of the Day

Damn! 2000? Time flies! I specifically remember that picture but the photo in question had several large ships on it. Over its or some capacity limit. I had to throw in the B.S. Flag.

 

Quick google search says the fast-charge stations are 480 volt supplying somewhere between 72-250 kW.

 

Papa showed the evidence.

 

Story and lots of pics - amazing machine

Are you telling me Papa was prepared to go through more than 16,000 posts just so you could pop me?
Well, you tell him it's on.

 

I’m seeking some clarification in the above picture. I knew the shipping ship existed. It appears that the ships being ship are for scrap. A lot of systems probably have been removed To reduce weight but I was curious as to the number of ships being carried and the shipping ship’s gross carrying capacity.
When I first saw the picture the ships being carried appeared to be some sort of cruise ships.

 

That dude works overtime! No stone goes unturned

 

Dude...Google....

The Blue Marlin's cargo carrying capacity is around 30,000 tons and the ease with which the 505 feet and 6,800 ton USS Cole was shipped from one part of the world to another, proves that the ship was designed to endure and carry cargo

 

This place is full of ship.

 

Get your own cheesy dad jokes.

 

I only had to go back two pages, man.

 

Thanks for your Goggle-foo service
I’m counting at least 7 ships that can be seen. I would assume the ships had their engines remove and headed somewhere for scrap metal. I don’t know spit about ocean going vessels. It would seem to me that all of the ships pictured, plus what we can’t see seemed to be at or near the Blue Marlin’s carrying capacity. especially using your info of the Cole being 6,800 tons fully operational.
There is a collective knowledge on the beeb that goes far & above “goggling”. I was posing that question to those who have more experience with this subject. I’m not discounting the information that you provided.

 

as specialized as land based heavy transport is. I’m sure they don’t move those ships for less than a full load. Unless it’s a special deal like the Cole.

 

What's the post # for which I am being busted? The defense has a right to see all evidence presented against them.

 

The smaller ship transports carry yachts. Easy low risk way to cross the Atlantic.

 

When it comes to cheesy dad jokes I'm a ship off the ol' block...

 

fify

 

Gneiss....

 

We need moor of these dad ship jokes.

 

I can’t believe we’ve sunk so low...
