If you like technology and research then you will enjoy this video. It seems they also have a 3 minute mpg you can download that is a longer version of the 1 minute video they have.
Long read, but very informative for those of you who are like, in that you enjoy geeky discovery things like this.

Loved it. I remember reading about this ship years ago. A brilliant engineering job.

That is astounding! The pics don’t get the real feel — it is veeery long and thin and shaped like a Louisville Slugger.

Flip is ancient, I read about it in the 70’s in children’s oceanography books.
