    This is the world's largest ship. At 1600 feet long, it is far longer than our largest air craft carrier. It is used to process natural gas.

    @Bob Your avatar is scary, sharks frighten me. When my two youngest were babies we were standing in the surf in Florida, they were 2 and 3, I saw a shadow in the water right near us, I looked and it was a small sand shark about 3 feet, harmless I later learned, but I grabbed them, one under each arm and learned to fly. I was out of the water and on the beach in a second.

    I announced I won't use that Avatar long. It is an extinct shark. I was on a construction job close to the Oakland, CA coliseum where the Warriors play and so do the Raiders. Some person on the crew spotted a small shark in the slough by the job and he might have tried to kill it. It was so very long ago.

    We had loggers tools on the job and who knows, maybe I was the one trying to kill it. I don't think it got killed.

    Do you know what a lumber jack tool is?

    I am talking of a Peavey. It has been so long since I worked on pile driver rigs.
