The tippy one had an Indian Captain who came out looking good as he drove the ship up on a sandbar to prevent it from turning turtle and sinking....

You can't hear a thing, it is all nice and quiet back there at the bridge:)
Aye Mate: The 228,000 ton super tanker I made my bread on only did 13 knots, not quite Ocean Speed. Max speed on the 31,500 ton chemical tankers I...
Thx, I guess. Never thought of it that way. I only flew jumbos at 480 knots, on a good day. Not sure how fast you were going in the F-4 fighters?...
