    Whats them with big pom poms on thier feet that look like coco the clown?

    Its the Swiss isnt it.

    Have you seen the Thai army do their party trick. They march along and at command it turns into absalute mayhem, unbeleivably it clicks back into place at command. Clever really.

    Great carrier trials picture, George!

    Here's another, not quite as dramatic as yours, though. I understand that sea trials protocol includes a 180 degree turn at WOT, somewhere above 36 kts/42 mph. Interesting to think of a typical runabout passing by at 42 mph, then imagine a monster 1000 ft long and 100,000 tons traveling the same speed. Cool.

    Jeeeeeeees, very impressive display in fuel use - Aw heck, how many years happy boating could I get for the fuel used for that high speed turn? - - In fuel use see my life out? - & have plenty left over to keep Frosty mobile too (get him out of that marina berth). :D :D
