As cool as it would be to say, "Wow, I was on this cruise ship and I got to tour their Harpoon missile battery!", I don't think that's an effective weapon against a dingy. I was thinking something more along the lines of a catapult. I mean, really, if I have a giant cruise ship and I see a little tiny boat coming up to board me, I figure I'll just lob a couple of 500 lb rocks onto the dingy and see how they deal with that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:296267 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
