no, no, no, no!!!!

a ship is a ship,...

a boat is a boat,...

a barge is a barge,...

it's a barge,...

and in typical Russian style, THIS was the pre-reality picture:

and then this was the actual thing (butt ugly, massively utilitarian, already rusting up, but probably effective, in that ugly but effective Russian way):

the USN already has LHA, LPD,LSD and LHDs galore,...

FEMA shipped multiple 50 MW "portable" TG sets to Puerto Rico,...

you can only tie in so many megawatts in so many places,...

the Russian barge although interesting, only puts out 70 MW,...

pretty limited use scenarios, Puerto Rico hardly qualifies,...
