Does anyone know if the staff who work on this type of vessel can make voice or video phone calls? There is some guy who contacted me via a dating website. He claimed that he is working on a cable-laying vessel as a telecommunication engineer, therefore, he couldn't take my phone call because they have to hand in their own cell phones and ID; he can only text me using an encrypted device configured with his own sim card that he uses for work records and report. This sounds very fishy to me and also he mentioned he works six months on and 11 months off, which doesn't sound right also.
I hate it when someone is filming something with a low performance video camera or phone and they're panning all over the place. At 24 fps it makes me want to barf.
Missed the most important and coolest part! THE SPLICE SHOP! That is where all the magic happens! Capt. did a great job with the limited time that they have for these tours.
Why didn't they show a film for these people so it's 100 percent better explained. These people will not understand what the reality of what the hack this guy telling them. That way they'd see the whole operation.
WOW! The basic cable part of it seems to not have changed much from the 1960's back when AT&T long Lines did this with coax. The navigation is so much more advanced though.
Just looking at this because it grabbed my attention. The captain really knows his ship, I hope his first officer is just as good. I bet this pays well.
