Hopefully it didn't have a passenger plane sticking out the side.

Just heard something to that effect on Fox. WOW. Impressive operation.

The ship is headed into port now.

ohfercryinoutloud. hehehe.

Should be pretty clear, though, what actually happened. I'm still wondering how they did it. As I recall it was pretty deep. Bringing it up is no small task.

Perhaps this evening I'll have a shot of vodka in the honor of some fellow sailors,. An honorable former enemy, now ally.

On another angle: Don't you find it ironic that today there are B2 bombers flying over Russia, with permission to do so? Funny how things change.

Now watch the Russians start claiming that we torpedoed it.

Is this with or without the nose hull?

Maximum dittos on that one.

Hey, Igor, why is that Geiger counter making all that noise...?

The nose was cut away forward of the sail. If you go to the link above and chose the first article on the left there is a link to a cool animation.

That's right, Murmansk, home waters to the three headed seals...

Kursk hoisted under Giant 4	<<
10-8-2001   The Kursk was hoisted under the Giant 4 at 17.30 hours Dutch time. Transport to Murmansk at a speed of four nautical miles per hour will commence within two hours of the Kursk being firmly secured to the pontoon. The Giant is expected to arrive at Murmansk with the Kursk on Wednesday.

Yes,and let us hope that it is a genuine change between our nations. time will tell. Had it not been for Stalin this would have happened fifty plus years ago.

Hopefully they be able to return some of the remains to their families.......

All sailors feel a sense of loss whenever another sailor is lost at sea......regardless of nationality.....

So Russia needed a Dutch firm to raise their wrecked ship...

...which of those countries is the Superpower?

"...which of those countries is the Superpower? "

With regard to chocolate, I'll cast my lot with the Dutch.
