Since they couldn't count on capturing any harbors along the coast of France, Allied troops in World War II brought a couple along. At 600,000 tons apiece, they had to ship them in pieces (though this was before carry-on restrictions were really enforced).
Holy crap. With all the time I've frittered away watching the Discovery and History channels, you'd think I would have heard of this before.
