Wonder how long it takes to stop 56,204 gross tons from 14.3
knots...without hitting something solid, of course? Can they see your
sloop? Hell, at 239 meters, can they see their own BOW?!

1. Depends.... loaded or MT, type of propulsion,sea/weather
conditions.......
2. Depends.... sea conditions and how close you are.
3. Yes, 239M isn't all that big.....hell, that's just a medium sized tanker

Keep a sharp lookout...and stay the hell out of her way!
