With all the hoop-la about the Carnival "Triumph" "dead-in-the-water", and looking at the size of that ship - - - - -
USS Enterprise CVN-65, which was no small ship, was.....
1,122' long,only 230' longer than "Triumph"
132' beam, 16' wider than "Triumph"
94,780 Tons displacement, 6,720 tons less, then "Triumph"
Drew 39', 12' deeper than "Triumph".
An Aircraft carrier was only 230' longer,16' wider ( waterline width ), rode 12' deeper, and - - -
weighed 6,720 tons !!! Less that a "Cruise Ship" ??
"Triumph" was a floating "Country", five days without working bathrooms, running water, or power !!!
I think my next "cruise" will be in a one-man CANOE !!!!

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
