Not far out of Abersoch [Nth Wales] there are some rocks, known locally as "half-tide rocks" notv far from Tudwal Islands ...
Back in, probably, the 1980s, a local trip boat got perched on them, several times [with different people driving, I think].
Once "Mack" had to wait for the incoming tide to float them off, and another time the boat slid off sideways ... Good job the boat was steel and flat-bottomed !

🌲 In 1932, USS Constitution spent the Christmas holiday in the Canal Zone (in what is now Cristóbal, Colón), while transiting the Panama Canal during the National Cruise. The ship was decorated with four trees: one on the tip of the flying jibboom off the bow and one each on top of the three masts. One of the tallest crew members was assigned the task of helping to lash the trees to the very highest points on the masts.
 
They always leave half the deck empty on those aircraft carriers. If I was in charge of the navy I'd make sure the deck was entirely packed with planes. Then, we could either sell several ships and save a lot of money, or we could carry a larger number of planes around for the same price.

I'd also only build the canals a bit wider than the aircraft carriers. There's no need for them to be that wide.

I could save the country a lot of cash.

Fuck off, if you were in charge of the navy it would be full of Moomin seamen and every vessel would look like this. Why do you persist in posting such filth.

The Suez Canal needs to take ships larger than aircraft carriers. And whilst I am no military expert, I can see a flaw in having a carrier’s deck entirely packed with planes. Unless Harriers, I guess.
