Yeah, but with that staff-to-customer ratio, it ought to be a four-star hotel.

Well, a 4-star hotel where room service is provided by a machinist.

These ships not only carry cargo and landing craft, but provide repair facilities near-shore or off-shore for damaged assets in or near the landing zone.

Thanks for the ping!

"Dunno. What you think?"

Cosmetic damage; give it a wax job ;o)

(those blue tarps sure come in handy when you blow the hull at depth...)

"I ran a trawler aground in Louisiana during a new moon when a buoy light was out"

Obviously your comment #5 was offered as humor?
