Each cut will take 24 continuous hours, during which the noise from the tearing of still should be jarringly loud. Planners are not exactly sure how loud.

“Loud? You’re probably going to want to put some headphones on,” he said. “I don’t know how loud – it’s never been done before.”

Considering neg rep because of no actual massive saw action...

Wow, the grammar is terrible in that article. Don't they teach English anymore?

Odd. I know they have done it before. Ive seen documentaries on it.

They must just be talking about THIS saw, or THIS kind of carrier.

If I recall correctly the Ruskies sawed off part of the Kursk and brought the rest of it to dry dock.

 

[maxwelhse]

Yep.

...and we stole one of their subs off of the ocean floor too. Not quite the same thing, but cool AF.

Project Azorian if you're curious. There are heaps of videos on YouTube about it.

Meh. They have been doing that at Todd shipyard in San Diego for years.
There are tons of similar options in the middle east and the P.I.

So, how many sailors does it take to run a chainsaw?
