This is one of my favorite finds ever, for Oobject.The R/P FLIP (Floating Instrument Platform), nicknamed the Flip ship is designed to partially sink so that it tips vertically and half submerges, with bulkheads becoming floors.The platform houses instrumentation for monitoring weather data etc.incredibly, this thing is not one of those weird pieces of defunct engineering from the first half of the 20th Century. It is still in operation after a $2M renovation in 1995.
