Stormberg's enormous tanker, that puts the Valdez to shame, weighing in at over a million tons. James Bond became suspicious when it hadn't docked at any port, and went on to investigate Stormberg's activities.

Use

The large tanker, was the centrepiece of Stormberg's plan, the front of the ship, had two large calliper like doors, when opened the shit was able to capture and store three nuclear submarines. After capturing three subs from the US, Russia and Britain, the crew were held prisoner and the nuclear missiles removed. Bond was aboard the British sub when it was captured, and he was taken aboard and held captive. Bond escaped and freed the captured Naval crew, together they initiated an attack on Stormberg's men, killing most of them. Stromberg launched the missile from the command room which was infiltrated by Bond who redirected the missiles to destroy each other. After a series of explosions the Liparus began to sink, and Bond along with the captain of the US sub, and the rest of the crew, took the sub out of the Liparus before it sank.
