23 as of last monday.

Im on the Coast Guard Cutter Chandeleur which is a 110' Patrol Boat in Key West, FL and im an IT.

Used to be on the Nunivak, which was a 123'...if you keep up with the news you know what happened there.

DT · 08-24-2007, 08:15 AM

I'm assuming they shortened it and renamed it.

It's possible I'm wrong.

No...the 123's were just 110' with 13 ft slapped on. Problem is Lockheed Martin fracked up the design. The hull would buckle in 4 ft seas, so now she and 7 other 123's are sitting in the shipyard...decommed.

yeah i saw that on 60 minutes. They pretty much said that was the biggest frack up in Coast Guard history.

I am very suspicious about parts of that report. Particularly, the composite hull design weighing more than the traditional steel design. That would be the only part of the report that I would know anything about independently, and what they claim seems wrong.

Makes me question the rest of it. No opposing side. Declined unedited/live interview with opposing side.

Red flag.

Yeah, I was being a goofball about renaming it, but I remembered some kind of funked up hull issue (built in downsizing

). Jezus, 4 ft seas, that's not even a swell for you coasties

You guys deal with some fierce ocean.

lol...try going out in the Gulf Stream during a cold front. Biggest seas i have been in on the 110' were 12-14ft off Bimini. The whole ship was an antigravity chamber...even worse i sleep in the bow...

I yuked just reading that.

I'm usually pretty solid (love roller coasters, pretty big seas and that sort of stuff), but a few years back we were off the coast of Miami, ~7ft seas, in a ~48ft sport fisherman - I had pounded this questionable chicken salad sandwich, ugh...

...the only thing that kept me from flinging myself over the side was I took a *handfull* of Dramamine and hooked a shark
