I don’t know why, but as a retired Navy guy, “I’ve got a bad feeling about this” and I just can’t put my finger on it.

At over 500 feet long and 15000 tons displacement It is closer in size to a large cruiser than a destroyer

Haven’t these boxy shaped new ships had problems with seaworthiness, ie: severe sea state rolling, listing, bow submarining?

I was hoping to see it tonight as it was supposed to tie up next to the inaugural party for Portland’s new liberal mayor. It was a no show as of 8 pm.
It was a must show event for those politically active in our city.

Looks like a pre-WWI Russian battleship

I hope she performs better than she looks. It’s uglier than mud flaps.

When you are in storm waves, it’s another world, and that’s not such a big ship. There is a reason this ship design was abandoned over 100 years ago.

Man...looks like a floating cardboard box. From what I gather recent ship designs have used for upper hull and superstructure material, maybe you are not too far off.
