Just as you could read a lot into the name of the small British coaster, JOLLY NIGHTS.
Reminds me of the USS Brinkley Bass (DD-887). There was always some joker who would paint haze grey over the "B"s when they were touching up the hull. ;)
Some things are just lost in translation I guess.
At least it isn't named 'Yukon Uranus' :)
The World Shipping Register at http://e-ships.net/index/T7.shtml doesn't list this ship, nor the name it is supposed to have now (TITAN TAURUS). Shipspotting has a picture of a ship with the same IMO number in Hong Kong two years later (an interesting picture IMO) at http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=324249. I can't tell if this is the same ship or whether IMO numbers can be reassigned. Looks like the same ship to me based on a superficial scan of the photographs.
I used to see a decimal point regularly painted in between the two digits of CURTS' hull number (FFG 38). Every ship has a nickname, of course - now, there wold be an interesting post!
C'est un mystere.
The Flagship of Nancy Pelosi's dream navy.
"Shortly after pronouncing his support for a repeal of the US Navy's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, the President expressed a desire a Presidential yacht befitting his place as the leader of the worlds most powerful nation. The US. Navy quickly responded"
Hey---I remember seeing that while in Long Beach on Midn cruise years ago.
Quote of the Day.. Maybe the Onion will pick up your funny...and make a 30 sec out of it!
Anyone remember the Belushi skit about the pirate ship, "The Raging Queen"?
Oh yeah... "A Manly Ship, with Manly Men!" =-O
Solves one problem, but still leaves Rum and the Lash.
HAHA
Good gravy...that ship has been rode hard and ain't NEVER put up wet! It's been a helluva long time since she's seen a dry dock for a shave and a hair cut (yardbird for blast and paint), for sure any anti-fouling she used to have got eat up by the barnacles! And FYI, the bow pic looks like one you'd see if she was in "dry lay-up", correct me if I'm wrong, Lee.
