The Navy comes to town

Someone at the South African Navy parked 3 massive ships in the Waterfront this weekend.

We got the obligatory tour.

This one was built in Germany 4 years ago for god knows what cost to the South Africa Tax payer, but you can't go wrong with German engineering can you?





Here's some interesting facts..

1 - The mid range misiles on board cost 7 Million Rand a pop.
2 - The ship can go from full speed to stopped in about a ships length thanks to the amazing gas turbine engines.
3 - And some other secret things that we probably shouldn't know, so i can't say here. woooo..
