Size Matters
Although we don't like to admit it, guys compare sizes!
It doesn't matter what it is and we all know it. Car engines, model trains, garden hoses, it doesn't matter and we all know it. Guys compare sizes and bigger is always better.
In this case it's one of the valves from the ships engine that these fellows were sizing up. Just looking at this I can imagine the thoughts these fellows are having....
#1. "Yeah that's just like my valve, nice and straight".
#2. "I remember when my valve was that big".
#3. "My valve is only this big but it still works great"!
#4. "Hope my valve still works when I get to your age".
A contest that has gone on since the beginning and has no sign of ever stopping.
I actually got to have a nice conversation with one of the engineers about the ship's propulsion and my Navy experiences. I tried to wrangle a trip down to the engineroom control but unfortunately got denied. Security reasons don't you know...
The different departments on the ship put items on display in the atrium, highlighting the best features of their department. There were displays from engineering, medical, catering, housekeeping, etc. Gives the passengers an opportunity to see what goes on behind the scenes and shows exactly what it takes to keep the ship running shipshape.
For those in the Show Your EXIF group you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR. It's a well known issue and for some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used!
