How thoroughly fascinating. I never knew brown went so well with blue and white, and on the same top. Only on the continent I suppose.

Now tell me dearest Box, after they install these engine thingys is there still room on board for some of your little plasticine monstrosities?

That's about the same as most Navy ships. Although, except for Carriers, most only have two engines. :)

Awesome pictures of the engines, Box! Thanks for sharing. This is a maritime aspect most of us don't get to ever see.
