[MHml] Secret craft sails sea of speculation

[Chris Ostlind]

Not to be too contrary, Brian, but I don't see that craft as being expensive 
at all. After looking at the photos, it seems the hulls are simply constant 
diameter cylinders that have been cut for boat and stern tapers, the sides 
of which look to be flat panel surfaces.

Certainly, there isn't much money in the superstructure (or imagination, for 
that matter) the "akas" look to be simple, gusseted pipe and they follow, 
perfectly with the overall theme of the entire craft.

I completely agree with the last sentence regarding her secret mission.

Chris
