A boat can be carried on a ship.
I loved the description of the Irish 4000+.
That picture of you-know-who was uncalled for.
And I'm still not going to look.

A 1000 footer ore boat would be difficult to carry on any ship. Even the Mighty Fitz at a measly 700+ feet would be difficult. A big boomer Trident would be difficult to place on a ship.

Well, one of the things we routinely say to people seeking pithy tattoo translations on IGTF (for example, the ubiquitous "Live, Laugh, Love") is "you know that's going to be longer in Irish, right?"

Well, you know, figuratively speaking . . .

Next time I'm stuck for conversation with this navy reserve officer at work, I'll have to remember to ask what boats he's been on. That should be enough to get him going for 10 or 15 minutes.

If he is surface Navy than he serves on a target.
Here's a boat carrying the USS Cole, over 8,000 tons.
