Well I went and saw QM2 and QE2 when they were visiting - I live only about 6km from the harbour.

When QM2 left that night at about 2300hrs, she sounded her horn as she made her way through the heads. That was at about 2341hrs. How do I know? Because I heard it VERY CLEARLY in my bedroom and looked at the clock!!

I do wish the stupid media people would stop referring to QE2 and QM2 as "sister ships"....

She docks at Quebec 2 or 3 times every years

I don t like such ship. Actualy she doesn t look like a ship and worse, she can t submerge!
Well... actualy she can... but if she does, she can t surface anymore:rotfl:
Impressive sight...

About modern tanker, actualy they could be easyer to sink than good old T2/T3 if they would be empty. I guess that with 2 or 3 torps same side, the monster is doomed. With his compartment geting flooded only one side, they re just gonna roll over themself:rotfl:
