595 barrels
25,000 gallons
90,000 liters
Why not keep going?
3,200,000 ounces
25,600,000 drams
90,000,000 ml

Or, howsabout 2,271,000,000 drops? (based on 90840 drops/gallon) Funny thing is, let's talk about a TRILLION for a moment. If we look at Obama's TRILLION DOLLAR spending spree as drops of spilt oil at a dollar a drop, he spilled 11,008,366.4 gallons! Of our oil, er, water, uh, fuel. Yeah. But spilling 25,000 gallons is still pretty bad.

This is the second mishap event in six weeks or so. I wonder about the people the Navy is choosing to captain its ships and submarines.

It boggles the mind that two things so large can EVER be in collision proximity unless all electronic range sensing devices are out of commission on both vessels.

But I’m a retired Army puke so what do I know?

No, I was in the Deck Department at the time of the collicions, but struck for ET shortly after. I don’t remember the name. I’ll check my cruise books. Is that you?
