    what's your point a Rouge wave can take out an oil tanker even an oil rig? Just to be smart and cute?

    What does it transform into? I prefer the WHY myself. Beautiful lines and design.

    Uhm, the reason that it is not Rogue Wave certified is that is actually the dingy I use to get to my real yacht.

    Rouge waves, who cares. Look at that easy access of the stern for Somali Pirates! To paraphrase Gunny "If it weren't dickheads like that naval architect, there wouldn't be any pirating in the world!"

    Funny you should mention that:

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091231/...warship_record

    BATH, Maine – Cruising through the darkness in rough seas, the USS Ross encountered a rogue wave that smashed into the destroyer's bow, sending a shudder along the entire ship that knocked sleeping crew out of their bunks and damaged the sonar housing.

    As alarms sounded, sleepy sailors scrambled to shore up the leak.

    "We cracked the hull and kept on going like it was nothing," retired sailor Jonathan Staeblein, of Hagerstown, Md., recalled. In fact, the 510-foot destroyer was never out of service for repairs during any deployment in the three years he served aboard as an electronic warfare technician.

    Arleigh Burke-class destroyers such as the USS Ross and USS Cole, which survived a terrorist suicide bombing in Yemen, have proven to be durable workhorses in the U.S. Navy..................
