Why shouldn't the Japanese Self-Defense forces own submarines? Aren't they allowed to defend their nation from other peoples' armed forces? I can't figure out what class of sub it is. This is a list of what Japan has currently. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/japan/ship.htm You would think Saipem would flout that fact and have better pictures of it lifting massive objects.

With the way the headline popped up on my monitor, the picture was blocked at first. So I see "Giant Floating Crane" and I'm thinking "versize waterfowl sitting in an inner tube"... :-) That is one impressive piece of work, though! --TwoDragons Hehe!
