OT- Any boat, any boat, any boat.

No. It's listed as an LLC. Most rich folks put their yachts and planes in LLCs for a few reasons that are beyond my broke ass understanding. I.E. Tiger's plane is legally owned by GTW Corp LLC. The boy has a "mentor" of sorts who sells super yachts out of Palm Beach. He says number of people who can afford to buy these yachts is staggering. But often a few folks will go together, create an LLC and buy the boat. He deals a lot with personal assistants and business managers.

The boat I posted is in an LLC. It’s for liability purposes. Don’t feel like something going wrong that’s out of my control should bankrupt myself or anyone in my family.

Here is one of the most magnificent yachts I've ever seen. This was on a business trip to Dubai and our host took us out on his boat for the afternoon. I'm not sure the type of wood but can you imagine hiring folks to polish this thing. It was stunning...not.being over dramatic...just stunning.

Stunning photos.  I can almost picture the owners of those crafts, sitting in a lounge chair with a drink in one hand and their sat-phone in the other telling our rich and powerful politicians they need to convince more people to drive electric cars and eat plant based meats for the good of the environment....

I'm just waiting for Frank to kick everyone to the curb with a pic of his former boat, and I don't mean the runabout in Sardinia.

Was his a SSN or SSBN?

@GlennM according to Yacht Times that's the Ha Sea II. 112 feet built in 2006 in the USA by Westport Yachts. The boy loves this stuff and interned at a Yacht dealer in January in Sarasota. He can find almost anything about a boat based almost solely on the name. Great pic!

Any idea who owns it?

I assumed you did   @GlennM...

You posted the pic.

Nah... that's surface fleet. Here he was in training as a freshly minted Ensign...

No curb kicking here.  But glad you have somehow sorted out my earliest assignment and contrary to history-survived.

You’re not the sole survivor of the Hunley?

This is the last boat I spent a significant amount of time on.

@FrostyEgg I totally applaud anyone who spent any time Supporting and Defending the Constitution of the United States of America and yes, even outside the Navy.

However, I would be remiss if I did not remind viewers of this basic fact; "There are only two types of ships in the Navy, submarines and targets!"  

FrostyEgg

Hahahaha she's definitely a big target. USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70), did a 10 month deployment in 2014-2015.

Like my last gig.  Mechanical Engineers design weapons, civil engineers design targets.

Thank you for your service.  As a non-expert here, how do land or take off with all those planes in the way?  I never noticed the deck that packed in either Top Gun movie.

They bring them topside to empty the ash trays and squeegee the windows.

Stock photo cause I couldn't find any of the ones we use. These fold up to a pc about 12' x 16" x 4" minus the seats. We throw them on the roof of the sxs and head deep into the bush, unfold them and spend the day away from anyone else. They are pretty stable, we have had 3 200lb+ guys in one all day. just gotta watch the front nosing under when under power.

Aircraft are moved from the flight deck to the hangar bay for storage and moved back up as needed via an aircraft elevator. There are 4 total elevators on a carrier. Here's a pic of a full hangar bay. The opening at the right of the pic is the access to the elevator.

These are random internet pics, but i'll make a thread sometime with a bunch of personal deployment pics. I have video of jet launches and recoveries, .50 cal machine gun night shoots (with tracers!) etc. Cool stuff for sure.

Would love to see that thread!

Very VERY cool @FrostyEgg. Thank you for your service!

I was 100% planning to be a Naval aviator until the eye doctor told me I needed glasses in the 9th grade. Not sure I would've made it but that was the dream. After the Navy, NASA. Alas, I'm just a regular Joe now who loves boats and planes.

That's awesome!  Thanks for sharing!

This is the weekend for boat pics. Yall be careful. Amateur boaters weekend out.

1982 Dixie, 260hp V8, all original,

Fun little 65 mph ride.

ksmyrl

@bubbajack that is SWEET. Sweeter than my grandma's sweet tea in fact. I showed a friend my family's 1985 Invader I/O this weekend. He was like "this is so cool, old school ski/family boat". Ours runs but could use some cosmetic touchups. Yours is perfect.

Are you the original owner?

Not the original owner, but has been in the area since new. I was very fortunate to get my hands on it. They are bringing a stupid price for 40+ year old boats. They have a distinctive sound with that big V-8 and through hull exhaust. People love to look at it.
