186K tons! Jesus, thats big...I have never sailed in anything much larger than 22k ton, and that was too big for me! As to being left in command in restricted waters.....albeit for a short period would certainly focus the mind - certainly not something I would be volunteering for!
I recall going through there during a 'night encounter' exercise with NATO back in the early 90's in a storm, quite sobering!
