I thought these long boats had a shallow draught

Those ships are amazing, carrying over 2000 containers below and above deck

, watched one get unloaded in 2 days in Townsville with 2 land based gantry cranes

, its crayzee man. My crew stresses over a 100

. Those ships draught over 12 meters out at sea for stability reasons then dumping ballast prior to going into harbours to probaly 6m

we have 2 options Smithy.

1. keep dreaming of sinking something this big

2. start producing home made antiship mines

I'd go the mines. A couple of those gas ships would be ideal, only make it on the way into port otherwise it could be goodbye Darwin.

Maybe a couple more illegal fishing boats would be safer.

Heres some useful info from discovery channel, those gas ships the mobile atom bombs. If they were to explode it would be 3 times the size of Hiroshima.

If two of those ships were on a collition course going 15kt's apparently even if they turned when the were 5 mile apart they would still hit...even in full reverse...thats hom much momentum they carry! funny how they only have a crew of 15-17 for trans-ocean travel though!

Nice. I hope Osama Bin Laden doesn't watch Discovery Channel

If he went fishing more often the world would be a better place. Maybe Afghanistan is a bit short on sportfish
