Still another new home for Superferry

[pahoated]

Actually, the US Navy found hull problems using them for high speed troop transport. This is now a deactivated Navy vessel that has been sold off as military surplus. The hull problems were probably at high speed and this commercialized version won't be going that fast. The article says 5 1/2 hours for the trip. The existing ferry sounds like a conventional old ferry and takes over 11 hours. Not sure why some keep associating the Superferry with Hawaii State. It was a private venture, the State didn't have any money in it. It was the private haole investors that thought it was a good thing for Hawaii, just like all the other big, failed rummy do-gooder outsider ideas.

"Aloha also means goodbye. Aloha!"
