Squat and grey, she was 260 ft. long, lay low in the water and was crowded with stacks of pipe from stem to stern. Like a misplaced obelisk, a 95-ft. oil derrick sprouted amidships over an open well. But as the Ctiss I was towed out of San Diego harbor last week, the importance of her mission belied the oddity of her looks: when she gets to a selected point near Guadalupe, off Mexico...
