The other day while out on our SEAL tour – we actually floated past one of these cool things!! FLIP – Floating Instrument Platform. It wasn’t in its upright form but rather docked at the Navy wharf near the section where the Navy Dolphins & Seals live. Had to come back & google it so I could share it with you all. Here is my picture as it sits beside the dock – looks pretty unassuming – just a big cannister like object. People have actually thought it was a gas tank. I’m attaching the link ( http://www.ship-technology.com/projects/flip-ship/ ) – you can only see the one end – but that end eventually flips vertical (300 m under water) into the water and a huge section sits 5 stories above the water!! Very cool reading!
