I just wanted to share this:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8442808.stm

The link is about a conflict between Japanese whalers (boo!) and the activists boats. Check out the details of the boat at the bottom of the article. It's the James Bond black ops boat from Hell.

Sleeps 6, 78 feet long, a range of up to 13,000 miles, top speed of 40 knots and capable of submerging up to 23 feet and oh, armors glass windshield and kevlar plating-official to defendd against icebergs but that sounds unlikely if I'm being a suspcious type.

not quite true the A-10 is very durable. for fast or flying vehicles one can make them heavy and very durable; one simply must burn more fuel in a large powerplant to make up for the extra weight.
