New Ship - Completely Syncable

Mariners around the globe celebrated today, as the latest evolution of ship design was launched in Rosslare Europort, Co. Wexford. This new type of vessel is completely syncable, according to prominent nautical sources.

The computer simulated image outlines the nine ingenious components of the ship. They are as follows:

1. Front
2. Knee
3. Hammerhead Shark Inlet
4. Side
5. Sync Hole, with fan
6. Back
7. Chimney
8. Sync Deck
9. Top

It is thought that the Sync Hole is particularly important in relation to the unprecedented syncability of the ship. This feature allows the ship to sync faster than any other ship in history, and relegates unsyncable ships into the history books.

The captain of the world's first fully syncable ship, Captain Ivor Mainland, had this to say at the launch this morning: "This is a proud day for me, as Captain of the Zealous Floater, and I am privileged to be the first person to sail one of these marvelous ships out into open water, where I plan to sync it immediately!"

When asked what a ship is - he succinctly replied: "You can put your boat on a ship, but you can't put your ship on a boat."

It remains to be seen whether completely syncable ships become the norm in worldwide shipping circles, but the outlook is promising, and it is hoped that the Navy will adopt the design principals before 2017.

The ship is compatible with most PDA's, laptops, sat nav systems, blackberries, PSP's, mobile phones and SNES, but not with any Apple products. An Apple spokesperson said: "We have no interest in exploring the ocean at this moment".
