Mine: *HeySel HoS bIQ'a' qoD Duj*
Yours: *bIQ'a' qoD HeySel HoS Duj*

I always find your noun-nouns to be ordered strangely. I wonder if it's 
something to do with the way Greek differs from English.

Mine is a ship. An ocean's interior ship. An ocean's interior ship of 
atomic power.

Yours is a ship. A atomic power ship. An atomic power ship of the 
ocean's interior.

Mine suggests that, of the various sorts of submarine there may be, 
we're talking about the nuclear-powered kind.

Yours suggests that, of the various sorts of nuclear-powered ships there 
may be, we're talking about the underwater kind.
