Could Fearless_Johnny get stuck in the upside-down position ( and sink ) ?



Hi T.J., You mentioned that Fearless_Johnny can take a rollover.
Could it get stuck in the upside-down position ( and sink ) ?

Thanks for the info on the gamma ray field and gamma laser.

Was that your home after Giant ( the ice breaker ) ?

Speaking of me, You told Potter:

He'd have a fuel problem in the cargo ship
but he can burn wood in the tug ( or oil ).

What fuel problem ? the cargo ship can't burn wood ?

You told me something like:

The penthouse is one piece and the two cabins below are 170 sq ft, I think.
both are shipped as singles... that's three big boxes.
And they'll be there by the time the hull is ready, a week from now.

So it takes about 10 days to ship the cabins from Hong Kong to Seattle, I see.

You continued:

They're built in Hong Kong using interchangable units, selected online.
The penthouse you get will have everything we saw in the pictures.

The dimensions of the lower cabins were off-the-shelf,
but the penthouse was downsized to 22 x 60 from 28 x 62
( or something like that ) and they moved the windows, adding portholes.
It takes a few days for the yard to install the pilot house,
penthouse and cabins.

It's like buying a modular house ( without the siding ),
it slides into place via a crane.

Then finishing touches are made to outside and engine room.
The stack came off with the deck and the wheelhouse.
a flange for bolts was added.
Then they sat a magdrill on the edge and drilled, and put the top on.

They look at the specs, the penthouse and the tugs measured draft details
and make pc-assisted adjustments.
They pick assembed components and fit them into the penhouse real quick.
They're built, put it on a ship and installed as a pallet.

Interesting, thanks.
