What's the difference between a boat and a ship?

Traditionally boats are carried on the deck of a ship, or at least are
small enough to do so. 100 feet is a boat: 200+ is a ship. These
semisubmersibles that can carry a full sized ship, the Cole comes to
mind, blur the original distinction. Also traditionally, the crews of
US subs call their ships " boats ".The fact that the Electric Boat
Company built so many subs may have something to do with it, I don't
really know.

Here'a one of the 'lemon' subs we bought from the British getting a free
ride again.
After it's fire off the coast of Britain, it was carried to Halifax a few
years ago.
Now it has hitched a $2 + million ride from Halifax to the west coast.

Maybe if your schools were better and the people could read, you would be
able to fix boats in the "Maritime Provinces".

Shows how much you know Kalif Swill..... er Bill.
We have a first rate shipyard here but for political reasons the contract to
maintain our subs was given to a west coast shipyard.
The local company has a lawsuit pending.

Amazing!!! The first person to jump on someone for misspelling
something has to correct his own blather!

It is almost a rule that spelling and grammar flames must contain at
least one such error.

Are you going to lie to everyone here and tell them that you have
"facts" about my work? Might as well, you've proven to everyone here
that you're a liar when it comes to those "facts".

Yes they could. All serve as an example. Some good, some bad. And from
what I see from most government offices, it is the latter example.
