    Lines 28 and 29 of that XL spreadsheet look to be for SES, seen several other SES references as well in there.

    Cool list, I can see how weight can add up, it's like going to the grocery store and not buying anything over $5.00 and ending up with a $100 bill.

    Bill/BMcF, are you in Maryland right now, or visiting somewhere else?

    Interesting seeing paint listed.
    What sort of mass of paint is involved on a ship? How do you estimate it, presumably a function of coat thickness and plating area . And it builds up over time I've seen paint nearly half an inch thick on a navy vessel inside from years of sprucing up.

    my value was huge as to 2.5 tons.. but as the spray painting is just around 40% efficient, you need to procure accordingly..
