Shane361 · February 4th, 2008, 03:14 PM

Well my ship just got out of the ship yards. Thought I would share a few pics I took of her out of the water and share-Shane

BWAL09 · February 4th, 2008, 04:50 PM

i didn't think they'd let you drive an S-197 mustang through a navy dock.

j/k j/k, i had to say it

Onemanzu · February 4th, 2008, 05:03 PM

its amazing that two props that small... compared to the boat mind you... can move a ship of that size

98Muscletang · February 4th, 2008, 05:08 PM

Looks cool. Cool experience man.

Why do they bring it out of the water? Do they repaint it and/or do a bunch of checks on everthing before it heads back out?

03 R Code · February 4th, 2008, 06:59 PM

Looks slow...

Yep, they sandblast the hull and repaint it. Also change out zinc anodes and maintenance on other parts. And it is slow..but when your in a minefield you need manuaverability not speed. Thats why its a coastal minesweeper and not some ocean going ship-Shane

that thing is a baby.

whats the crew size?

GTsetGO · February 4th, 2008, 08:55 PM

nice pics brah. my brother in law is at corpus right now finishing up flight school

Shane361 · February 4th, 2008, 09:15 PM

It is a baby, even though its the larger of the two ships that deal with Minehunting. Its 224 feet long..and slow. We travel about 13 knots...so slowwww but its not built for speed. Need to manuever in a minefield well.-Shane

yeah, every time a submarine pulls into drydock, there's this huge tarp that goes over the screw to keep it covered up so spy satellites can't photograph it

i mean i really cant see any real daming stuff in these pics exept the prop config.. although i know nothing about ships.. but im just saying

00vabchgt · February 8th, 2008, 08:42 PM

it's not really as big a deal on a surface ship. you're not really gonna sneak up on anything on one of those targets. but for a submarine, it's a huge deal...

Yup..ours are just diesel engine with regular props. We go a max of like 13 knots which is less than 20mph. On subs you have systems designed to be quiet so yeah its crazy secret.-Shane
