Jeez, these new ship designs are ugly, the spawn of desk-bound naval
architects, no doubt. I suppose they're purpose designed but a big white box
on a red bathtub hardly stirs the seafarer's heart. Bet it's a bitch in a
beam sea too.

I'm surprised they don't build something that large in a dry dock. How
do they control the "slide" as it starts down those rails laid
perpendicular to the keel?

What is she, a buoy tender? Interesting looking boat...but she seems to
list to port...

Check out the site, it explains that it is an icebreaker that has the
equipment to service bouys..

You're asking me?? Remember, I use WEBTV and boat a Bayliner. But, I
agree with some of the posters. Compared to the "Old Mac", its a
pretty ugly profile.

Yeah, she does seem to be listing to port a bit, probably because of
all those left-wing shipwrights that worked on her.....
