    Pretty neat. I bet it still has a massive price tag to build, being that it's for the Navy and all. Probably wouldn't be too difficult for the home builder to replicate.

    I thought possibly hemming was the first mate who weighed the anchor. for short the capt just hollers hemmingway!! or possibly just whispers it.... I would hate to be in rough seas in that thingy without a dingy.

    It's probably got a crew of about 8, but they all stay on the dockside
