That’s a lot of effort to check if the remote for the officers mess TV might be underneath the ship.
Seriously though, what might be the reason behind the bulk of the missions that crane might be needed for? If a ship needs hull repairs, it can be towed into a dry dock so long as it still floats. And whereas some ships that are not seaworthy need to be transported on top of a bigger ship, we already have those contraptions that simply sink a few metres and scoop the ship in question before rising again, which clearly is much less complex than lifting a massive dead weight to mount it atop another vessel. I can’t imagine the massive ship in the video fitting atop anything else out there anyway…

That type of shear legs crane is used in shipbuilding to assemble big oil rigs and stuff. I’m not sure, but I suspect the ship being lifted was load testing the crane…just something they had handy that weighed 12000 t ..barges are frequently used

Sometimes it goes wrong..I’ve worked on this crane vessel a few times

This one was more scary as the crane is supposed to be designed for sudden loss of hook load

I can't decide on a suitable response ...
Although I don't like sinking ships, I'm tending towards a "Rainbow Warrior" type action ...
One of his other super yachts, the "Lady M" has been nicked, IIRC.

Not exactly ship porn but I have just read the story of the sinking of the MV Princess Victoria in the North Channel during the great storm of 1953. The tragedy and the bravery are something beyond..!

I hope Navantia have learned by now where to put their decimal points in their calculations, after what happened with the S-80 attack submarines they built for the Spanish Navy...
Spain's new submarine 'too big for its dock'
First the S-80 had problems floating, now it cannot fit in its base of operations, Spanish media say.

Not me, sadly.
Your picture has just me me wonder… Even though the chances or pressing need of any nation attempting to attack an aircraft carrier In peacetime must be extremely remote, do they actually sail by themselves across vast oceans? Or are they accompanied by support ships?

when deployed carriers are always accompanied by other ships, including submarines.
