Now that's one fugly ship!
 
I've seen a lot of funky ships pass through the Bay, but OMG, this one needs a torpedo! That paint job! Aaauuggh!!! :o

A few more colors and that thing would be a rainbow:D

It's draft must be deeper when loaded with thousands of tons of goodz, so the anti-fouling paint won't show

I think

Schöneboom 10-19-08 11:47 AM

Yes, Raptor, it's definitely running light. It's unusual to see the rudder so exposed. Still, hot pink anti-fouling paint? And this is the second freighter I've seen with the hull the color of bright rust. I suppose that means the real rust doesn't show! :roll:

At least it's not pink

Ya know what they say, It may not look pretty but it does its job.;)

That paint once was red, but months at sea with the sun and saltwater wearing at it changes and dulls it.;)

Who cares about the paint?! Even if it was all grey, it's still ugly!:p

I know, I know: "But it's functional and does its job well.":dead:

That's what you get when you go for the lowest bidder for the painting job!:lol:

"Functionally elegant" as the builders of the A-10 would say...:hmm:

Oh! I know! It's an antisubmarine vessel in disguise. Any Kilo captain who tries for a periscope attack on the big, inviting merchant contact on his sonar would go away blinded for life. Them are tricky bastards in the merchant fleet.:rock:

Ya know now that I look at it, I wish I had a torpedo to slam in it. Im sure the SAGA Co. wouldnt like it though.:lol:
