I was on the heli-deck this afternoon and noticed these guys, through the fencing around the outside of the heli-deck, on the bow below me doing some training. I liked the view looking down on the tops of their heads and with their colourful boilersuits. They were doing PLT (Pneumatic Line Thrower) training...which is basically like a fancy potato gun (you can see it on the railing) and is used to 'throw' a line to another vessel for operations such as towing.

PLTs are not only used for ship to ship deployment i.e. for towing activities, but have also been used as an air-gun to tag or attach transmitters to whales.
