Chief Rick Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 The future USS TRIPOLI (LHA-7). Two super-modules (sections of ship) moved across land to be joined in one of the final evolutions before being rolled into dry-dock to be launched. Another record was set more recently when the mostly completed ship was moved onto dry-dock in the same way.
Subdeacon Joe Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 Interesting that the "largest things to move across land" either end up in the water or in space.

Thanks for the laugh Joe, but you're right. I never thought about that before. 6 hours ago, Chief Rick said: The future USS BOUGAINVILLE (LHA-8).

Tennessee Trapper Tom Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Pretty amazing what we as humans are capable of.

I can't believe I typed what I did (must be the long days). That's my excuse anyways. The video is in fact the future USS TRIPOLI (LHA-7). The previous record was for the USS AMERICA (LHA-6). Time for bed...
