Notice all the pics show it in flat calm seas and under fair skies. I'm no sailor... maybe I'm just missing something. The thought of this monstrosity trying to round Cape Horn is, well, interesting to say the least. Perhaps some of our local Navy veterans can give us a nice, descriptive, first hand account of the weather down there.

yeah, I thought about Cape horn also. Tough trip for a monster like this. Maybe this thing can deploy helicopter rotor blades and fly over the Panama Canal. Does anyone remember S.H.I.E.L.D. from Marvel Comics and the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier?

Coming around the horn, the waves crash over the deck of an aircraft carrier.
