Wow, that makes me feel so safe.

...can you hear me now?

I gotta have one of those.

"We are going to need a bigger boat"

Looks like that ship was made just for transporting that thing. Wow!

I dig stuff like this. I'd like to take a drive up to see it. If anyone sees what ship it's on could you post it? (I don't believe it's on the Blue Marlin, I think that's a file photo.)

In checking marinetraffic.com the Blue Marlin is currently in the Carribean but there is a vessel identified as SBX 1 now approaching Neah Bay (entrance to the Straight of Juan de Fuca) from the SW. Current speed 5.6 kts course of 57 degrees. Apparently being towed or escorted by the Lindsey Foss. Hope to be able to see it from my place in the morning. Pretty cool.

Thanks EBob. That's why I didn't think it would be on the Blue Marlin. In looking at the other Dockwise fleet on Marine Traffic there were only a few of the smaller ones that hadn't listed a location in some time. Because it's military stuff you would think they wouldn't allow the AIS to be turned on.

I'd still like to see the Blue Marlin sometime. I couldn't make it up last time it was in Seattle. Seeing one of these others will still be cool.

Dude....

A quick Google search shows some pretty good pictures. Looks like it has it's own propulsion system so it's not on a another vessel this time.

It has its own propulsion, it is a semi-submersible oil drilling type platform. It is coming here for upgrades to it propulsion system. It is another Boeing product. I worked on the Sea Launch system for Boeing which also uses a similar oil drilling type platform, but used for launching commercial type satellites.

currently approaching Port Angeles

One of the comments on the KOMO site posted this link. An interesting read.

Just passing PA now. Pretty cool!

Rumor has it that the City of Fife bought it for generating more funds through traffic tickets. It seems the cops and the cameras just aren't generating enough money.

I hear it might accidentaly shoot citizens in the seattle area too.

Pretty big fuzzbuster.

This is a excellent radar, should I used this type of radar for my private cargo?
