Very nice ski boat. 20 knots a bit slow.
Wonder how much to buy one?
Aaahh on second thoughts its
better suited for military purposes.
Good pix thanks for sharing.

I've been on a few war ships as a visitor. Many smaller and some bigger but not many bigger than HMAS Canberra.

One ship that stands out for me was in Brisbane in the late 80's. A light aircraft carrier. Loaded with Harriers and Sea Kings. I had my three young ones along and they got to sit at the controls of the aircraft. Later we watched six Harriers return from the Expo. Small fishing boats were advised or told to clear away from the stern of the ship. One boatie was stubborn but he panicked cut his anchor rope as the first Harrier made its approach over the top of the boatie. The jet blasts were angled right over him as the Jump Jet lowered toward the stern of the Carrier.
We saw it coming and laughed. I think that boatie will listen to police directions next time.

I wouldn't mind getting a visit on the Canberra. Thanks Alexander.
