Today I steal from riotclitshave, who is not always work-safe.

With a user name like that, NSFW should be obvious.

Great Pics, I'm dying to know what the first one is for. The second looks like Tsunami JR.

The top pic looks like the front of a submarine to me, but I could easily be incorrect.

That's the front end of a submarine. Specifically, the HMS Ambush

I'm kind of amazed that the roadbed can handle that, looking at the scale relative to surrounding 2-story houses. Not to mention, WTF does the crane that put it on that truck look like?

[eididdy.livejournal.com]

Eh, it's only about the same size as a two story house.

[ironphoenix.livejournal.com]

I estimate the overall height at about 12-15 m, which is something like 3 or 4 stories...

That's a big crane, all right; not sure if it's the same model as the one use for the above (in the U.K.), but it would likely do the job.

That particular one is one of the pair that are the two largest cranes in the world, both at Newport News Shipbuilding (currently owned by NorGrum, in case you couldn't tell). The crane will be smaller, but it will be of a similar type. That's a common type for shipyards.

That wave and the surrounding water look so white that I had to check that it wasn't a picture of an avalanche.
