The wreck of the Andrea Doris getting nuked is my favorite part of that whole mess. Although Teeth of the Tiger has got to be my favorite lovely Clancy book, with the whole pointless holocaust cybersex sub plot

One of the Muslim terrorist is role playing raping a Jewish chick in a concentration camp, but it turns out the chick was a fat dude all along, or something as dumb as that. Could have been one of the Op Center book too, it’s been a while.

It had a thing about the two Special Ops Killer driving a Porsche down to Italy while Jack Ryan Jr, stock broker, had to take a plane because the Porsche was a two seater. Man what a lovely book that was. Once we’re done with RSR maybe I should let’s read it.

Shipping water on a LASH would be a pretty big problem though. The free surface... ugh. Haven’t seen a lot of these ships actually, but if they’re anything like Ro/Ro, you do not want to ship water, ever. What I was taught was that if someone was shooting at me, steer towards them so the cargo section of the ship (usually forward of the accommodation) would absorb the hit while you abandoned ship. Never tried it.

Ro/ro have large open car decks, this allows any water on them to slosh accross the width of the ship. This effectively raises the center of gravity of the ship, and increases rolls. RoRo being fairly top heavy to start with... bad.
