Very nice pics. I'd like to do that one day. Is that a Celebrity ship? Which one were you on?

Tell me again just - Why that is important?

Ship, Boat, Barge, or Scow, they all float...................hopefully

Outstanding pictures.

I see lots of guys diving into the water, but I don't see any coming back OUT!

At least, that's what I'd be thinking if I was up on that cliff.

So I shouldn't say "Nice skirt fella?"

Leather & rubber baby, can't go wrong with that! Point is, a ship is a ship like a kilt is a kilt. You may be a Marine but that doesn't make you a mariner

I seem to remember that James and I had this same conversation a wee while ago.I do hope he did not upset the Captain too much by calling his SHIP a boat.Perhaps James spent the cruise "clapped in irons".

Spoken like a Marine.

In swabbie-speak, a submarine is the only ship that's a boat. I never quite figured out why.

Grant, I even heard one of the ordies from USS Forrestal who constantly referred to the vessel in that way. It is/was 325 m long, displaced over 80,000 tons, & I think was the biggest carrier since WWII [and before USS Enterprise CVN-65 and the Nimitz class]. But given the source, I decided education was not going to be successful---it wastes your time & annoys the pig, right?

I am referring to a particular ordie, not to present company BTW: Marines are educable, almost by definition.

I never could find out. It was NOT the Star of India, cause it was still moored. I only had a chance to talk to a few, before I got involved with helping out those that got burned out, so I will never know.
