It doesn't have propulsion of its own and needs to be towed everywhere; is it technically a ship? Seems more like a fancy barge or platform.
Very cool in any case, I'm glad it's been saved.
- ethbr1 2y agoIt moves. Just only rotationally. :)
- diggan 2y agoWikipedia calls it "open ocean research platform" which seems more appropriate, agree. But it doesn't rhyme as nicely as "Flipping FLIP ship" so I understand the author took a bit of liberty in the title, at least they explain what FLIP stands for ("FLoating Instrument Platform") which makes it pretty clear if it's a ship or platform :)
