[PUP] Octopussy

[Ron Rogers]

Paul Allen, formerly the other founder of Microsoft. He long ago withdrew 
from active participation. He is a shy guy, but he has something going on? 
He owns three vessels. One is only 300 feet and the third is smaller. Just 
think of the personnel management issues!

I love her blue hull and Octopus is really well thought out. I'd love to 
know what each of those domes is for. I see two conventional radars forward, 
and there's probably two facing aft. Maintenance, overhauls, and repairs.

There's a picture of her taking on fuel at a stone quay and there is a shore 
based crane holding the hose high enough to reach the deck fitting! Of 
course, she has to carry jet fuel and gasoline as well.

I wonder what her anti-piracy procedures are? Her building costs was over 
$200 million. Built by Lurresen in Germany as are many of the really big 
ones.

Just think what you won't have to worry about! Of course, your Newfies would 
have tons of play room and an exercise pool.
