Well we’ve been talking alot about ships in the military forum of late, thought I’d share this with you and the first on line pic.
The first Airbus “Ship” was recently launched at the Nanjing based Jinling shipyard in China and will be used to transport A380 sections from UK, Germany and Spain to Saint Nazaire in France where componants will be then readied for on-shipment via specially designed barges and low loaders to the final assembly facility in Toulouse. Weighing in at 5200tonnes, the specially designed 155m long roll-on roll-off ship features the worlds largest watertight stern door. Her name is “Ville De Bordeaux”

It looks like a battle ship in that picture ! 😀 Suppose it’s involved in a battle with Boeing right enough.
