Hey, I've been on that ship!
It had been docked nearby about ten years ago and the guys in my family went to see it.

Cool stuff.

Does this harbor make my stern look wide? ;-)

Always amazes me that ships like her don't just turn turtle in the first bit of chop, I mean, they look so top heavy...
Hell of a lot of machinery packed into the lower hull I guess.

Amazing isn't she!

The trick is to realise just how large the ship really is. (i.e. just imagine how much fuel + machinery + manpower maintanence + ammo is required to keep this thing functioning.

It's not top heavy, just that the wide top gives it an illusion of such.

Oh I know that, the majority of that wide top is hanger deck, eg empty space. But it still makes for a bit of an optical illusion.

I followed that story with some interest actually...
I guess you actually have to see one to really wrap your head around it, although the iceberg analogy is apt.
