How Ships Are Launched ?!

Cruise ship are no longer launched like in the old days, by sliding down wooden rollers or sideways as in your image into the sea. These days they are built in a dry dock and then at a float-out ceremony, the sea is allowed to flood the dry dock and then the ship is in the water. This usually occurs before the ship is finished.

Pirates have tried to invade a ship, look what happened!

Pirates have tried to invade a ship, look what happened! A small band of Somali pirates attempt to seize an unidentified ship during a raid. Bad idea. The ship turns out to be a U.S. Naval vessel.

Pirates are finding increased patrols, harder targets, and tougher reprisals ( like this ), which has resulted in far fewer hijackings, according to statistics from the International Chamber of Commerce. This is a good thing, of course. But it also means we're going to see far fewer of these highly entertaining videos. Watch what happens when these tough guys see that they are not raiding a helpless commercial vessel but one owned and operated by the U.S. Navy. It's what you call a classic "oh sh*t" moment.

Just as you reach the crest of the wave, put 'er on hard right rudder! Don't forget to put the helm amidships and both screws on full ahead when you start down the other side of the wave. Then when the ship starts accelerating down into the trough, slow the screws down to about half power." He did that, we came smartly around 180 degrees, plowed into the wave now in front of us, steadied, and rode back out of the storm." I asked the Captain to give full credit to the helmsman and the two engine-room mates on the port and starboard throttles. He asked me how I knew...
