Re: Massive Ship Launches

lol.....remember the thread of the absolu 80?.......it was on another forum......they didnt launch like that..(and its a good thing too)...the list in the ship allmost sank her. the owners had to take her back to dry dock and add huge sponsons to the sides so she would not list.

i think they finally have her crusing around toronto or montreal.

the launch sideways like that to see if the righting arm of the ship is correct....if not....she goes over and the naval archetect is beheadded......lol

No, but I might have to try it next time I launch ... I will be sure to get pictures so I can post them in SHT! LOL! I can see the DC taking on water now ... would be a good test for her, but the only place I have for a launch like that would be from about 5 or 6 feet ... wonder how the 19fter would do with that?????
