And with the Russian Kursk submarine that sank year's ago. Good documentary about it iirc
Yeh, it was terrible what happened and the way they refused help. The documentary I'm on about was just about the salvage rather than the the loss of the sub.Good documentary, about a horrific accident.
I remember when it happened, 20 years ago next month, several rescue teams and equipment were nearby, but the Russians refused help.

I'm sure I've saw a programme years ago about shipyards in Korea [or possibly Mitsubishi in Japan?] where they think nothing of cutting an already large ship in half, adding an extension to the middle, then rewelding the whole thing back together. Awesome to watch!
I would imagine it had much more to do with what was sat in her silos, and the possibility of defection by rescued crewmen.Horrible indeed, "can't accept help from these westerners it would make Russia look bad and weak."
That attitude that cost the lives of 23 men.
Me too, but there is a lot client's get very quiet about depending upon the jobI've done a lot of subsea stuff with diamond wire saws. You get very adept at fixing them.

Maybe the Japanese wouldn't, but I would!The fish & chips are excellent, not overpriced, all cooked to order on a phone-in basis with timed collection when you sometimes still have a short wait. I doubt the Japanese come to experience that only, though.

Airbus don't do it as far as I'm aware, though do make many of their aircraft with varying length Fuselages. Lockheed famously did it with the C130 but not quite on the same scale as that ship!!!Not terribly dissimilar to how Boeing (and airbus?) make longer fuselages, add a chunk in at the front and back and hey presto ..more passengers
