Not every day you get a warship traveling down the street where you work.

HMAS Launceston being transferred from the builders shed to her launching site some 3 kilometres away.

Well Ralph it's kinda obvious.. It looks like it's powered by one or two Ford F 350s.. I gotta say the Ozzies have a good idea there.. If it ever sinks they'll just roll along home eh?

Never know about thos Aussies. That thing might have wings tucked away somewhere in it too. How about those boarding ladders? Quite considerate for us over weight divers.
