The Navy ship “Adelaide” was actually built in Seattle, Washington in 1977 but taken into the Australian Navy for use. It was ceremoniously retired and sunk off the New South Wales coast to become a hideout for fish and a destination for divers.
This is the ultimate pirate ship bedroom. It was built by designer Steve Kuhl who had his choice from a pirate ship, castle, race car, and space ship. The bedroom features a pirate ship floating that is complete with a rope bridge.
This ship battered in severe and very powerful storm in Russia. The rescue team wasn’t afraid to perform their dangerous operation to help the ship’s crew set their feet on the ground, alive and well. These photos look rather challenging as the storm was very bad.
If you ever think about shipping dinosaur eggs, think twice before working with FedEx. See why after the jump.
These photographs are dated 1977. They capture a ship caught in a horrible storm. They were taken by one of the ship crew members.
An attempt to quickly unload these cars failed.
Take a look at how you can lengthen a ship. It’s not that difficult as it might sound at first.
A Floating Instrument Platform (FLIP) ship is a floating instrument platform and manned research vessel that is 355 feet long. The FLIP has been widely used to study the acoustics of whales and other marine mammals, the effects of seismic waves on the water, and heat exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean. It works by being towed out to sea and having one end submerged. The instruments and crew are located in a portion of the ship that remains above the surface of the ocean. This giant ship is most impressive.
USS Independence (LCS-2) is the second class prototype for the Independence-class littoral combat ship. It was designed and built by General Dynamics, Aural and Bath Iron Works. It is intended as a small assault transport with a variety of capabilities depending on the mission module installed. The ship is a trimaran design capable of over 40 knots (74 km/h; 46 mph), and will normally be delivered to the US Navy at the end of 2009. This 127-meter ship requires a crew of 40 sailors and has a maximum range of 20,000 km.
Really impressive! I love the design in general, especially the trimaran hull…
Do you want to see what will happen to a warship in the case if a torpedo hits it directly?
It will be finished. But the pictures are impressive.
By the way, don’t worry, there were no casualties, these were mere exercises.
