Thought I would finally post up a few pics from the shipyard I was at last week. This is in Mobile Alabama at Atlantic Marine's Drydock.

This was a little Army Corps of Engineers boat that I saw coming in.

This is another one of our MARAD government owned ships Cape Vincent. We had turned sideways in the channel to back our ship into the drydock. No I was not driving.:lol:

Some idiot standing under the propeller, each of those prop blades are 8 foot tall.

As you can see, the ship is pretty heavy. They had concrete blocks and wood set up that the ship sat down on.

If those blocks let go that stupid hard hat isn't gonna stop shit.

Doing my lifting for the month, that ship was heavy after a few reps.
