Same as it was in December when I asked the same question:

MS Nordstjernen

saltydog · « **Reply #5276 on:** January 18, 2009, 23:47:09 »

Glad to see a "talker" here..

But it's not the Nordstjernen..

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #5277 on:** January 18, 2009, 23:48:32 »

Check the Hurtigruten company web site. Says there she was built in 1956 which is 8 years before the next oldest built in 1964

saltydog · « **Reply #5278 on:** January 18, 2009, 23:49:50 »

Maybe we're crossing wires, I mean the oldest ship in service today..

edit: I must apologize: MS Nordstjernen is still in service..I should have left out the "oldest" bit..

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #5279 on:** January 18, 2009, 23:51:00 »

According to them she is still in service:

Yes, indeed she is..
My question was about the MS Lofoten..What nice ships they are..

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #5281 on:** January 18, 2009, 23:58:19 »

I agree, and very nice to see them operating during my trip to Norway last summer, amazing the way they come and go!!

Off now, got to get ready for Monday!!

saltydog · « **Reply #5283 on:** January 19, 2009, 00:53:59 »

Small crowd at night..(and pretty silent too)
Seems like the action is at European time..

saltydog · « **Reply #5284 on:** January 19, 2009, 01:18:16 »

I would be glad to be proved wrong..

saltydog · « **Reply #5285 on:** January 19, 2009, 01:21:32 »

I've wondered about this: why do you hide..?

saltydog · « **Reply #5286 on:** January 19, 2009, 01:24:31 »

Pity..it would be nice to see if you were online or not..

saltydog · « **Reply #5287 on:** January 19, 2009, 02:11:08 »

That's not a great mystery..I usually do that to check if anyone has answered my question..

Which leads to the next question: Which ship is this..?

saltydog · « **Reply #5288 on:** January 19, 2009, 02:24:35 »

Yes, it's the Alcyone..I'm not quite sure how the turbosails work
Your go..

Ok, how does the Turbosail work? Extra point for that one who'll uncover that mistery

How the Turbosail works:
A small fan draws air into the 33-foot towers, boosting wind speed over the
leeward side and creating forward lift several times the power of traditional sails.
In the diagram, F is the force created by the fan; R is the resistance, or drag, of
the airflow; P is the push of the deflected air

Short works like wing on a airplain

OK, here it is
Can somebody say watt ship this is or was? The name pleas

Indeed it is Tore.

What ship was this, same place Gadani Beach

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #5295 on:** January 19, 2009, 16:00:21 »

Judging from the Funnels, I'd Say the P&O Cruise Ship Canberra

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #5296 on:** January 19, 2009, 16:19:29 »

Correct - your turn

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #5297 on:** January 19, 2009, 16:45:35 »

Looks as though it will be a 'stinger' CC, he's taking his time over it!!

LOL

Sorry for the delay, my internet is being a real pain. Firefox is not working, asnd IE is working on and off, and very slowly

My question is:

How many SR.N4 Hovercraft were built...?

(i.e. the Large Car carrying craft)
