Hardly getting over it.
This thread is playing havoc with my enormous lottery winnings - from wanting and being quite happy with an aeroplane (Piaggio aero p180 avanti II "around" $6mil)
I've now substantially raised my needs to
Now quite why I'd need a VARD series 9 pollution control vessel, I'm not sure - and I don't think I'd get it kitted out for pollution control to be honest, but either this or the previously posted ocean going icebreaker tug would do my nicely - probably going to have to hand over the winning cheque (when it arrives) to Mrs Voltz
Make a great pirate vessel, that. "Ramming speed, me hearties!!!"

acknowledging ur soup leg
The first ice breaker to reach the north pole was this nuclear powered beast in 1977. Arktika

22/11/2022 - got a maths joke.
This is what happens when you balls-up a cheat code on Grand Theft Auto....
This is pretty cool - ship launched sideways off the dock 
MV Aleksey Maryshev
Not particularly pornographic but cool for me personally - it's a Russian icebreaker that's been refitted as an "expedition cruise" sort of thing, takes 40 passengers on guided tours of the South Atlantic and Antarctic, my mum fulfilled the ambition / dream of a lifetime to go there by going on a two week holiday on it

They did a sideways launch better than Brunel and the SS Great Eastern but I suppose they were not trying to launch 12000 tons

on reddit or something
If you launched it forward, you'd need a much deeper channel than the ship's own depth, otherwise you'd get the bow stuck on the bottom.

Its great fun though - Some excellent side launch footage here
incl the one second from last which shows very clearly how big a ship can be launched into a rather narrow canal!
Ouch!

Reminds me of the report from the survivors of a sinking once, recounting how they were gathered on the stern and saw their "rescue" ship loom-up out of the stormy night.
Only then did they recognise that it was their own bows, fully detached and floating past. Hope dwindled!

Tired and unemotional
Six days, I think it said in the film.
