How does a giant cruise ship stay upright? Just how big is an aircraft carrier? How are submarines powered? Join the Stickmen for a close look at diesel and jet engines. Explore the cruise captain's control center and the "wings" supporting a hovercraft. Learn about the hull of a massive container ship. Zoom in on mechanisms at work through cutaway illustrations and diagrams, accompanied by a cast of Stickmen offering facts, demonstrating functions, and occasionally getting themselves into deep water!
