If you look at crane capacity, the two largest vessels in the world are the Thialf and the Saipem 7000. Source, I am an engineer who has worked (but no longer) closely with divers and ROV operators in the North Sea. Companies like Comex (later Stolt Comex Seaway) and Subsea7.

Sometimes when in the cabin with the ROV operators, watching the displays, I have seen Cod swimming around. I thought it would be awesome to attached a fishing pole, or something similar to a manipulator arm so you could stick the bait right in the Cod's (or any fish's) face. Have you ever done anything silly like that?

Another time, an umbilical got sucked into a thruster which put the vessel out of operation for 3 days. Have you ever had any major fuck-ups like that?

Yet another time, another engineer (not me fortunately), specified a 1 ton shackle for use in retrieving a 200kg (450 lbs) piece of equipment from the sea-floor. The diver who had to use it, gave him a thorough cussing out later because it was so tiny and, being the north sea with 4 degrees C (about 40 degrees F) water, he had thick rubber gloves on, therefore it was almost impossible to use. Have you ever wanted to similarly cuss out some of the engineers?

In your line of business, I can understand you're not making statements without proof. Would it be more correct to say the following:

I've watched two allegedly different alleged gangs walk into my alleged office with their alleged colors on. I allegedly had to ask one alleged side to leave, and I allegedly thought there was going to be an alleged war.
