Thanks, bazzer! I figure the sea base is similar to the calmer seas on the Caribbean run this ship probably was engaged in.
Gil...love the heading! :D
Yes, this is actually a hybrid container-RO/RO vessel, as it probably used the onboard crane to lift the containers off of the chassis which rolled onto the ship with the containers. The more common true RO/RO are the car carriers folks have probably seen from time to time...the big, boxy lumbering ships that look more like floating shoe boxes.
I sure have become well trained in the container box construction...I wondered why the designer decided on making individual boxes, rather than a block of "containers" like most kits I have seen do. Sure gives you the flexibility to set up your stow, but this kit does require quite a few containers to be built.
Thanks for the comment about the rails and anchor cable...without those tidbits it would look rather bare, I thought.
Cheers!
Jim
