    Hello, coffee break anyone? :)

    Here's a few nice videos of ship launches:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epJtFMjV_FI&feature=related (a pretty extreme launch angle!)
    There are many others on youtube, but this one really gives a sense of joy - with the grand orchestra of ship horns welcoming the newborn baby:

    Cheers everyone, and wish you many of these (size doesn't matter, in this case ;) ).

    Nice...

    All my launches have been "traditional", ie either stern or bow first. I've never done a sideways launch. These sideways launches all look mighty impressive :)
