Is this ship trying to land 7 helicopters on one landing pad, or is it being attacked by large fish?

Actually I think it's seven ships following the big one.

From the trials i'd say that are boats...

Edit: Too late (again)

Trawlers would be most likely.

I prefer the idea of SERIOUSLY big fish.... These guys have to get their revenge on us after we eat their relatives...........


But seriously, fishing boats, unfortunately......... No more chance of a Hollywood movie about killer fish (Remember "Pirhana 2"..... Now that was way beyond a bad movie)

If you have the GE Community layers turned on you'll see this is tagged as a 'Seismic Marine Vessel'. It's possible that the other objects are towed arrays used for sea floor mapping or something similar.

I beg to differ, it's been there since August last year. Prove it, I hear you cry, so I will.

It was certainly there when I looked last night. Maybe you didn't have all the layers turned on? It's listed under Huge & Unique for some reason.

Maybe i had a beer too much, don't know ... ;)
