		While commonly used on sailing ships as support for sails, radio masts and towers are also used for telecommunication equipment such as radio antennas, also known as aerials in the UK.
		There is often crossover in term usage as some skyscraper use the tower term, some towers use the mast term, and ironically 'skyscraper' has some word heritage from references to high sailboat masts.
		Top masts are ranked by pinnacle height; in the case of a tie, the older structure is ranked as higher.

		A compliant tower platform, much like a fixed platform, is bottom founded, but allows for greater flexibility than a conventional fixed platform.
		This flexibility allows the compliant platform to flex when a force, such as a wave, current, or wind, is applied, which reduces the forces acting on the platform and foundation.
		Chevron’s Petronius compliant tower platform is located in roughly 1,754 feet of water in the Central Gulf of Mexico, approximately 150 miles from downtown New Orleans.
