Car carriers are never pretty. And really creepy how big they are when they pass you in a harbor channel.

She's not pretty, but she has integrity (or at least someone clearly believes she has...).

[Rich Jones]

Is it coming or going?

[Hugh MacD]

Roll-On-Roll-Off. They look like they'd be pretty scary in big water.

A good ship is any ship that looks after her cargo, her crew, her owners and the seas and waters that she dwells in.

Pretty is optional.

[John Smith]

Is it coming or going?

Yes.

This is an extremely good ship and I’m inordinately proud of her. She has celebrated her thirtieth birthday with a major refit and will now go on to thirty-five.

Ramform Atas. Looked pretty familiar to me. Looked in my photos on my phone and I have a few pictures of what must be her sister ship, Ramform Titan. She was in Newfoundland last time I was there in June of last year. They look identical from where I'm sitting.

Both in the whale deafening business

I'm surprised that they're not on a USN Ro-Ro, given all the stuff we're shipping across the pond.
