Humans have long sought to create something great by raising the bar over and over again and engaging in an ongoing display of superiority and power. Each new creation, structure or mechanism had to be stronger, faster, higher, wider, larger and more durable than the previous ones. The military industry is no exception. Since ancient times, the strength of the navy largely determined the winner of the battle and clearly demonstrated the alignment of forces. Civilizations constantly fought for fertile land and influence in strategically advantageous sea basins. As a result, thousands of magnificent and amazing ships have been built over the past centuries, designed to testify to the military power of their country. In this compilation, 25 of the largest warships ever launched are waiting for you.

Photo: wikipedia.org

The four Graf Zeppelin-class ships were to become Kriegsmarine ships (Kriegsmarine, the German navy of the Third Reich era), and their construction was planned as early as the 1930s. However, due to political differences between the German Navy and the Luftwaffe (Luftwaffe, air Force in the Reichswehr, Wehrmacht and Bundeswehr), due to disagreements among the highest ranks of the Kriegsmarine itself and because Adolf Hitler lost interest in this project, none of these imposing aircraft carriers was ever launched. As planned by the engineers, the length of such a ship was to be 262.5 meters.

16. Yamato-class warships

Here is the leader of our list and the first supercarrier with a nuclear power plant. USS Enterprise is the longest (342 meters) and most famous warship in the world. It has served the US Army for 51 years and is therefore also considered one of the longest lasting US aircraft carriers. The USS Enterprise saw action in many battles including the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, and the Korean War. In addition, this cruiser took part in the filming of feature films. For example, some scenes from Star Trek and Top Gun (Star Trek) were filmed on the deck of the USS Enterprise, which is rightfully considered the largest American aircraft carrier and one of the 10 most dangerous warships on the planet.

When it comes to large ships, the Titanic comes to mind first. It, of course, can be categorized as the most famous ships that crashed on the very first flight. But there are other huge ships that most people have not even heard of. We offer you to get acquainted with the largest ships in the history of shipbuilding, some of them still plow the oceans, and some have long been scrapped. The list is based on the length of the vessel, its gross tonnage and gross tonnage.

The Oceania TI class supertanker is one of the most beautiful vessels designed to transport oil. There are four such supertankers in the world. The gross carrying capacity of Oceania is 440 thousand tons, with the ability to reach speeds of up to 16-18 knots. The length of the vessel is 380 meters.

Berge Emperor was the largest oil tanker built by Mitsui in 1975 and one of the largest tankers in the world. Vessel weight 211360 tons. The first owner was Bergesen d.y. & Co, but then in 1985 the tanker was sold to Maastow BV, where it received a new name. He served there for only a year, and then he was sent for scrap.

Named after Alexander von Humboldt, the CMA CGM is an Explorer-class container ship. It was the largest container ship in the world until the E class Maersk Triple appeared. Its length is 396 meters. The gross carrying capacity is 187624 tons.

In the list of the largest ships, Emma Maersk ranks second among the ships that are still in service. This is the first of eight E-class container ships owned by the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group. It was launched into the water in 2006. The vessel is capable of approximately 11,000 TEUs. Its length is 397.71 meters.

Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller is the leading E-class container ship. It has the largest cargo capacity in the world, and is also the longest vessel for 2013. Its length is 399 meters. Maximum speed - 23 knots with a carrying capacity of 18270 TEU. It was built for Maersk at the South Korean plant Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering.

Esso Atlantic is one of the most popular names in the history of large ships. The huge vessel with a length of 406.57 meters has an incredible gross carrying capacity of 516,891 tons. It served 35 years primarily as an oil tanker and was scrapped in Pakistan in 2002.

The Batillus is a supertanker built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique for the French branch of Shell Oil. Its gross carrying capacity is 554 thousand tons, speed is 16-17 knots, length is 414.22 meters. This is the fourth largest ship in the world. It made its last flight in December 1985.

The world's third largest ship is named after the French politician, founder of the oil company Elf Aquitaine Pierre Guillaume. It was built in 1977 by the Chantiers de l'Atlantique for the Nationale de Navigation. The ship served for six years, and then it was sent for scrap because of the incredible unprofitability. Due to its huge size, its use was severely limited. It could not pass through either the Panama or Suez canals. And not all ports could enter the ship. The gross carrying capacity was almost 555 thousand tons, the speed was 16 knots, the length was 414.22 meters.

The supertanker Mont was known by various names, it was called the queen of the oceans and rivers. The ship was built in 1979 at the Japanese shipyards Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. During the Iran-Iraq war, it was badly damaged, and it was flooded because it was considered beyond repair. But later it was raised and repaired, calling Happy Giant. In December 2009, it made its last flight. At that time it was the largest ship in the world, but the title of the big tanker it has kept to this day.

Prelude is the largest used vessel in the world built in 2013 in South Korea. Its length is 488 meters, width is 78 meters. It is intended for transportation of liquefied natural gas. It took 260,000 tons of steel to build it, and when fully loaded, the weight exceeds 600,000 tons.

Imagine that you are going on a free cruise on the largest ship in the world. Inside is a whole metropolis of entertainment and services, and everything is free. Fantastic? Yes. But one day, when the parade of planets takes place, the company launches a new ship, this fairy tale becomes a reality. Tour operators, the media and everyone who will subsequently sell tickets to this liner are invited to the first flight.

Harmony of the Seas (Harmony of the Seas) is by far the largest a cruise ship for 8200 people, of which 2200 crew members. The height of the ship is comparable to the height of a 20-storey building. The length is 362 meters, which exceeds the length of Red Square in Moscow. The construction of the liner cost Royal Caribbean more than 1,000,000,000 euros.

But the most impressive thing is not the measurements, but the filling of the liner - a helipad, swimming pools, water slides, a casino, a theater, an ice rink, a garden with 12 thousand different plants and much, much more. There is even a Bionic bar on board, where robots work as waiters. Let's see what it looks like inside...

General plans of the liner. This is really a huge thing, a giant Noah's Ark with a displacement of 227,500 tons:

The first place you go on a cruise is, of course, the cabin. I will not give the footage, I will only mention that in my cabin there was a separate dressing room:

General areas of the liner. On the right in the photo is a giant head sculpture that rotates in layers in different directions:

7.

There are pedestrian streets on board. A complete feeling that it was not a ship that went into the sea, but a piece of the mainland. There are a lot of people. After a series of accidents on cruises, Royal Caribbean installed an advanced facial recognition system that can, if necessary, identify each passenger in the crowd:

Many sculptures and works of modern art:

Rope crossing at the level of seven floors:

At the stern of the ship is a huge aquatic theater. Two pipes lead down from the upper deck, through which you can go down in clothes. Feels very fast, very scary and very dark. You overcome almost 30 meters of height in 13 seconds, making two 360-degree turns along the way:

Balloon dessert topped with hot chocolate. After a minute, the ball melts, revealing the ice cream inside. Delicious:

Every week, 4,500 kg of chicken and almost 7,000 kg of beef are consumed in the liner's restaurants. In total, there are 4,900 seats on board in restaurants and bars. The assortment of desserts again confused me:

There are dozens of shops in Central Park for every budget:

You won't be bored in the evening. Rather, on the contrary, you will need to run from one view to another:

In the theater - a Broadway production of "Grease". The film of the same name, based on this musical, made Travolta a star already in 1978:

Ice show. Just pay attention to the quality of the costumes that were prepared for the performance.

Teenagers from 15 to 17 years old will join the Teenagers group. Boys and girls will have lunch with their peers, play interactive games, arrange themed evenings, rock out at the disco. Moreover, parents cannot go to dances, and teenagers can step back a little from parental care.

Incidents on the liner

Many tourists and passengers are interested in whether there were any unpleasant incidents that you need to know about in advance before purchasing a ticket for a cruise. There was only one incident: in 2012, a small fire started in the engine room, it was immediately eliminated. The flame was handled by an automated fire fighting system ship. No one was injured due to the fire, and the ship went on along the designated route.

Anyone who decides to visit the "Charm of the Seas" deck will never forget such beauty and variety of shops, restaurants, places for recreation. The ship is like a separate republic surrounded by seas and oceans, there are no problems and worries. It is peace and reunion with oneself.
