Whatever happened to the Hawkspill? I
understand it is a replacement for Parche?

That would be a challenge, since she was decommissioned in 1999, about
5 years before PARCHE.

HawksPill?

Hawksbill, more likely.
Interesting hull number.
SSN-666.

That's one sweet looking ride! :-) But, what's it resting on, in the
pictures where it's on land? The rollers (or whatever) look so
insubstantial.

I just wish they'd ask around a bit before decommissioning old ones. Some of
us might find them handy.

Don't worry yourself. Ship transfer systems are rather heavily built.
I don't think anyone's dropped a ship yet....

Wow. Do you speak to everyone with such a smarmy tone? There's a new class
on how to interact with people effectively down at the community
college.....

Some interesting things in those pictures...

The barn she's coming out of is the facility formerly used to build
726's. Were all the 21's built there, or was just the Carter modified
there? (The LH barn is the one used for building 688's.)
