@element1215: A vessel capable of ruling the ocean. Seawise Giant. Think the Titanic was a massive ship? Then take a look at these numbers. You could fit the Titanic on the deck of this tanker four times — and there would still be enough room left for a football field. 🤯 Meet Seawise Giant, also known as Knock Nevis or Happy Giant. ▪️ Length: 458 meters — longer than the Eiffel Tower is tall, if you laid it horizontally. ▪️ Draft: 24 meters. Because of its enormous size, the ship could not enter almost any major port in the world — nor could it pass through the English Channel or the Suez Canal. ▪️ Cargo capacity: 564,000 tons of oil. To transport that amount using fuel tankers, you would need a continuous line of trucks stretching from Paris to Berlin. 🚢 How could such a monster even stay afloat? In a sense, not like an ordinary ship at all — experts described it as a true floating terminal. Its hull was extraordinarily thick, and if a vessel of this size suffered major damage, the environmental consequences could have been catastrophic on a massive scale. The ship needed around 10 kilometers of space to turn around and roughly 30 minutes to complete the maneuver. And its stopping distance at full speed exceeded 7 kilometers — yes, seven! 🔥 But the most incredible part of its story: In 1988, during a period of intense tensions between Iraq and the United States, an F-4 fighter jet attacked the tanker with an Exocet missile. The ship suffered severe damage and caught fire. It was officially declared destroyed.

How these giant steel can float on sea

biggie :

Imagine being the captain of that mf

Jimmy......♠️ :

for how long does this mf take to turn

Duck :

If I’m correct there was only like 2 ports in the world that could dock this thing

Charlie Kamakazi :

thats what sea said

Katotaliban :

the curvature of the earth had been taken into account during design [Fajny]

jake :

I bet this wasnt very fuel efficient

@KeDUeMPIRe :

that's like a spec of dust in the ocean 😏

Mr. Fancy Pants :

bro im drunk right now and this is insane. somebody increase the boat budget

ALPHA👑 :

Damn, science is indeed, powerful.

Mr.Symis :

TTING TTONG 103 :

......HUMAN is greater than GOD,....btw......

lex :

Jeremy Clarkson did a great episode on this ship

DeAndre :

One of the coolest things about the navy was pulling up info on ships we’d pass while I was on the helm the largest catamaran we passed it in the Baltic Sea and it was named after a nazi officer and renamed in 2015

z :

what if that ship is turn into a battleship and slash a aircraft carrier

e.359751 :

don't think iver ever seen a video or picture show how much higher it sat unloaded along with it loaded to highlight the difference

United_States_of_Pakistan xUSP :

true it was an sea monster but sadly it's no more.

Mindyobusiness :

The Knock Nevis

insanely irregular :

When it’s that long doesn’t the rigidity of steel weaken ? Idk what I’m talking about

conormcgregor63 :

Same size of the ,wonder of the sea .

IMAGINE CAPTAINS AURA

Sadiq saed 10 :

Engineers bruh

Razvan Baciu99 :

In video are two separate ships Battilus is also a diferent tanker built by France for Shell . Jahre viking was built in Japan by Sumitomo Heavy Industries in her prime was the biggest man made moving object .

So how did it fit

MzCherryGarden_43 :

But the little boats still pulling it tho
