I was browsing the internet and I saw this...

The first thought in my mind was "Load torpedos 1 to 4"

My first thought was "frakkin commercials" :haha:

Second thought was "AOB?"

Anyhow I cant help but note that that thing looks terribly top heavy.

My thoughts, its bigger than a Nimitz and has half as many lifeboats. Also I could picture that boat in rough seas only once. :timeout:

It wont capsize... If im correct, there are stablizers under the waterline that keep it as stable as possiable.(passenger comfert...)

But sinking that wouldnt be hard, one behind the bulbous, and one in the engine room...:yep:

Now who wants to have some ocean fun!!!

and the Titanic was unsinkable ;)

I dont have any idea what the draw of that thing is but it sure does look topheavy.

If they have any sense, it'll have just as good a draught, if not then it'll be a Poiseden remake in the making.
Anyone have any clue what the sounding of the channel she's leaving in that vid is?

Titanic 2, anyone?

It will be if I have anything to say about it.:DL
Is it wrong to see large passenger vessels and have an insatiable desire to torpedo them? I honestly think I might have a mental problem.

Well, whatever. Screw these AOB calculations. A 7-to 9 degree lead from the camera position with 4 impact fuse torpedoes fired sequentially as the bow crosses the targetting plane would put that beautiful stack of gross registered tons beneath the waves.


Btw Potato, your sig is freaking awesome.

edit- I meant G7a torpedoes
