[BITList] more: BBC News - Who, what, why: How do you scrap an aircraft carrier?

[x50type]

has  Andrew Jacques, managing director, ever seen a ship

could he be one of those new 'ship scrapping' experts?
wtf is a 'double bottomed' tank?
and don't you just hate those inevitable voids?

PS - what's a 'dead space'? [Ahoy, matey -- make haste to No. 5 dead space].
