@op That's a good place for it, you're bound to see any sneaky mountains from up there

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

No. No no no. Holy shit no. Just seeing that thing glide under the water unnerves me. Something about large manmade objects underwater...

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Aren't those things supposed to be *under* the water? I'm not an expert, but they might be doing it wrong.

This is so satisfyingly beautiful. Thanks for sharing, @OP

You're getting a fair amount of reactive near field radiation from that radar, you know. It'll keep you warm.

She's 6,145 tons full, so we now have a basis for comparison. The Nimitz is 16.27 fucktons. Earth? 9.72 * 10^17 fucktons.

Yep, and it can do that for 30 years before needing to refuel.

It's there, but it's using a magneto-hydrodynamic drive, or "caterpillar" drive, so it's very, very quiet.

If it's very very quiet, does it mean it's hunting wabbits?

Could be the vastness of the ocean and how something that size can hide in it easily. Might also be the thought of being that far from land.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Maybe because they're on top and usually you see this deep in the ocean, imagine being on top of one while it went under. Scary.
