Paul Allen, formerly the other founder of Microsoft. He long ago withdrew
from active participation. He is a shy guy, but he has something going on?
He owns three vessels. One is only 300 feet and the third is smaller. Just
think of the personnel management issues!

I love her blue hull and Octopus is really well thought out. I'd love to
know what each of those domes is for. I see two conventional radars forward,
and there's probably two facing aft. Maintenance, overhauls, and repairs.

There's a picture of her taking on fuel at a stone quay and there is a shore
based crane holding the hose high enough to reach the deck fitting! Of
course, she has to carry jet fuel and gasoline as well.

I wonder what her anti-piracy procedures are? Her building costs was over
$200 million. Built by Lurresen in Germany as are many of the really big
ones.

Just think what you won't have to worry about! Of course, your Newfies would
have tons of play room and an exercise pool.

Yes, but then he had to install a special, high-pressure tank for beer. Just
seeing a squad out on the aft deck exercising should scare anyone off. While
waiting for a truck, I watched an entire San Diego team doing PT. I lost
count of the sit-ups past 150. Of course, they also have to practice with
weapons, but Octopus probably has an indoor range!
