This ship can sink its stern to transform into a stable ocean platform. Amazing.

Great for practical joke
Have someone on board not telling him that it's a flippable ship. Flip it when he is asleep. When he wakes up, hilarity ensues.

- Seriously, how does the sit-n-shit turn?
  All they showed was the galley. I wanna know how the plumbing for the head twists, dammit! You know darned well that if you just had to go during a flip that would be the one & only time it would fail.

47 year-old "ship"... 5 Stars Indeed!!!
I remember reading about this in 62'-63' in a scholastic newspaper for kids. I'ld always wondered about it since then. Nice to see that there's a video on it.

Hey!
If this weird ship flips 180 degree, I think they should call it 'FLIP-FLOP'
