Hi guys,

Inspired by the latest ''Southpark'' episode, involving Cartman want to be a Somalian pirate I came up with this ship:



A very old Clemson destroyer, do not ask me how they got it, probably left behind by US forces a long tim ago or salvaged.

Just for fun :P

Very cool!

Cool idea!
BTW those genlemen are using much smaller units with incredible determination!

Lazer_ B) ne

Very good! Reminds me of eh..hm... Waterworld.

Lord, the most awful movie ever made. It's too bad Kevin Costner's career didn't sink with the movie... hehe, get it? Like it's waterworld... lol. :P

I haven't see Waterworld - sounds so bad it may be good :P I like the pirate ship, but why not adopt the Cambeltown approach? Stuff the bows with exposives and threaten to blow up a cruise liner :lol:

LOl

no, just bad :D

Probably one of the most awful movies ever, no joke.

As far as Waterworld. Put it this way, Denver was under 1,200 feet of water....considering it's a mile up anyways, just how the hell do you GET that much water onto the planet?

The destroyer is very nice, Jolly Roger should be the larger flag though!

They probably would do that for the first one, but after some crewman was smoking hashish and prematurely detonated the ship... :D

That large flag represens the flag shown in the episode carried by the pirates :P

There is about 1.3 billion cubic km of water in the oceans and another 7 million cubic km of fresh running water (with about 95% of this is ground water). There is another 30 million cubic km of water in ice, most on the Antarctic.

To raise the global sea level another 2km (to put Denver 400m under water) you would need another billion cubic kms. So even if all the ground water was to be pumped out and not allowed to flow back underground and all the ice melted you would still have a shortfall of 960 million cubic kms of water.

Hence why whoever wrote that travesty must have been on acid, and bad acid at that! B)

Going back to the original topic at hand, anybody get a screengrab of the French ship they captured? Should be simple enough to translate into Shipbucket :)

Just a thought comment on the Waterworld and Denver situation - might I remind you that being in mountains, Denver is likely around some tectonic plates, and as such potentially a tectonic shift might have caused Denver's ground level to actually drop - perhaps part of why Denver looked so rather dramatically destroyed in that underwater scene.

Just my two pennies.

I do not mean to insult, but that information is not correct:



The mountains were created by the North American plate being squeezed at both ends, IIRC.

Could lower the land ;)

First, I did say it was a thought - I didn't happen to have tectonics maps on hand to verify my thoughts on that matter.

Second, you suggest the Rockies formed from a plate squeeze - well, assuming it was such a case, if the plate shifted and overlapped, thus releasing the pressure, one might surmize that the ground in that location might shift again.

First on topic. I like the design.


Now off topic. I once had Waterworld on TV one day and sitting next to the TV was a bucket of shit (don't ask me why it was there not my house) and I found the bucket of shit more entertaining and thought provoking.

Hopefully Costner's new baseball venture won't suffer the same fate as waterworld...
