Have you ever wondered, “Who designed this?” It may have been for the right reasons but, when we ask ourselves that question, it’s usually because a certain design step wasn’t thought through carefully enough. What kind of vessel are you on? What do you like about it? What can be improved ?
The upper pilot house shakes like a vietnamese hooker surrounded by GI’s at Jimmy Wah’s bar in downtown Saigon but other than that it’s not too terrible, I guess. The barges certainly could have been done better, they need more rounded, flared, sea-going bows if they’re going to be making these coastal runs, not these big, ugly, flat garbage-scow bows that suck fuel right out of the tanks (refer to our vietnamese friend from earlier for witty comparison about suction capacity) and make the whole thing a miserable ride (again, see yum-yum the vietnamese prostitute for “ride” comparison). Ok, basically I think this whole flotsam is just a south-east asian whore.
Chinese junk!
One of the best ships I sailed on was the C10’s. However who designed a control room on the main deck wasn’t thinking clearly.
I have to agree. Although it made for a nicer transit in the Suez. I’ll sure miss those ships once they are scrapped.
C-10’s were ok but the Maersk Comet/Meteor/Lightning class I liked better. Oil cooled pistons are easier to work on than water cooled ones.
Ya but no bow thrusters! Line in the eyes suck!
