The entire stern seems to be for tenders. 3 hatches each on port and starboard, the aft one HUGE, and the stern seems to open too. I wonder whats in there... probably the usual, submarines, chopters, missle launchers.

Project Sigma should be ready soon. I saw a photo of her in the drydock today. Her funnels seem to be painted instead of the grey look they had before? We will have to wait untill she re-emerges once more for good! http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/...php?lid=641402 |

Perhaps the grey was a protective coating?

Makes me wonder  Although Sigma looks very milituristic I'm led to think about the difference in the look of Preditor when she went with the blue. |

Other than painting the funnels silver, what did they do?
BTW, Those gantry cranes in the background look as if they could pick Sigma up like a toy! They are seriously BIG!
