rich2010 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Whilst on the ferry back to Portsmouth one summer (massive Brittany Ferries type ferry) we sailed past one of these and it literally towered over us. Now the ferry was not too tiny either - staggeringly impressive. Are the kit containers separate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raystorm Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Nice work so far and looking good! These ships are absolute behemoths! I've been on a Maersk Triple-E class, the biggest ships in service in the world and it's so hard to get your head around just how big they are!
