Found this funny image a few days ago while browsing some other forum:
Notice that also lifeboats do fall, too (just to contradict that earlier post).
Yeah but in that pic it's only half a liner and a lifeboat weights more than half a liner, but not as much as a whole one.

This is realistic.
Lancasters, Halifaxes and Short Sterlings where all modified to
drop lifeboats down to stranded crew.
Dropping battleships in the same way would be much easier
because it is far easier to drop a heavy thing like a battleship
than it is to drop a light thing like a lifeboat.
Heavy things are just easier to drop because gravity drags them down more.

Science!™

Thats one of the funniest things I have ever read on subsim !
