From the stainless-steel galley they may expect first-rate meals, prepared beforehand on the ground. If a journey is made on short notice, there is enough canned food stowed in Columbine to put on elaborate meals during a globe-circling flight without an additional pinch of salt...
...deck measuring 220 ft. by 106 ft., supported by 24 steel pilings, each 300 feet long, that are rammed 150 feet into the ocean floor. It cost $1,500,000, weighs 1,600 tons (as much as a destroyer), has air-conditioned barracks, a TV set, a food-packed galley, a helicopter landing spot, and is the biggest offshore rig ever built.
