OT : What is this guy doing ?

OneShot · 10-12-05, 04:53 PM

Found this image on another page, where people were scratching their heads what this guy is doing. Anybody got an idea ?

Ghost Dog · 10-12-05, 05:03 PM

well. hes got a mask and flippers, i guess in case he gets washed overboard cause he doesnt appear to be tethered.

my guess is hes trying to unfoul something. something got hung up around the aft emergency access hatch or towed array housing.

thats my guess. *shrug*

Lost his wallet maybe? "Just a couple more minutes Captain!"

XabbaRus · 10-12-05, 06:13 PM

Dunno what he is doing but I can tell you the class of sub.

It's a Sturgeon Class SSN.

Mail Buoy gag on the new guy...

Amizaur · 10-12-05, 06:46 PM

Were Sturegons covered with aneoching coatings ? Because on the left of this guy there is something that lookes like a piece damaged rubber coating, scraped from the hull by something ?

Most likely. Anechoic coatings of some kind have existed since the second world war.

I know one thing for shure he is doing and that would be risking his life.

Scrubbing the deck for punishment, undoubtedly! :rotfl:

Hartmann · 10-13-05, 02:51 PM

Captain !! we have a somebody out of the sub !!

Is a greenpeace ecologist trying to tie himself with a chain to the sub. :rotfl:

Or a engineer repairing some rubber tiles from the hull.

Shock Troop · 10-13-05, 04:26 PM

Locked himself out and lost the keys. I've done it a dozen times myself. Sooooooo embarassing.

Kapitan · 10-13-05, 06:32 PM

looks like a seal stuck on the seck only thing that worries me is that 16 foot propellor is turning if he falls in he is going to be mince meat i hear propellers have more suck than a dyson vacumme cleaner

LuftWolf · 10-13-05, 06:40 PM

Yes, good eyes, that big object behind him, that the sailor is looking at, with the spray coming off of it, does look kind of like a seal.
