Chapter 1927

Which is the largest oil tanker in the world?

This can be used as a knowledge quiz. The answer to this question is also the simplest. The name of this oil tanker is called the sea giant.

Yes, this is really a sea giant. Its total length is 458 meters. It is the longest ship. Even a Nimitz class aircraft carrier has a total length of more than 300 meters. This kind of giant ship can enter the Guinness Book of records. It is the longest ship in the world and the longest man-made floating object on the water.

It has a large volume and a huge stomach. It can carry 560000 tons of crude oil, ranking first in the world. With its own weight of 260000 tons, it has the displacement of eight Nimitz ships.

However, as long as we calculate, we know that the ship is uneconomical. Its weight is too heavy, almost half of its carrying capacity. Along the way, useless work accounts for one third.

Most modern supertankers have a loading capacity of about 300000 ~ 330000 tons, and their self weight is only about 60000 tons, which is the calculation result of economics. At this level, the construction cost, fuel consumption and various costs can be minimized.

In fact, its weight is 260000 tons. It is definitely not that 260000 tons of steel were used when it was built. In order to make it stable during navigation, it needs to fill a huge amount of seawater between its two layers of hull. Its mass of more than 100000 tons is ballast seawater. Otherwise, it is easy to turn over.

At the same time, this was also the idea of the ship kings at that time. What they pursued was big, biggest and biggest! After it appeared, it immediately caused the vibration of the whole ship industry, and no one can surpass it.

At the very beginning, it was ordered by the ship owners of other countries and built in the island country. Later, the ship had not yet been caused, and the ship owner went bankrupt. In 1979, the king of the Oriental Pearl bought the ship. At that time, the oil load was four hundred and forty thousand tons. In order to achieve the greatest idea, he transformed it into a monster capable of loading 560 thousand tons of crude oil.

In 1981, when the ship was built, it began its transportation career. It transported oil from the busy world oil center to Han and other countries. At this time, it also found many shortcomings.

When fully loaded, the ship's draft exceeds 24 meters. It can't pass through the world's main channels and all kinds of canals. It can only take a detour. Therefore, in terms of economic benefits, it's not the best.

Of course, this will not change the pride of its largest tanker. It has its own halo.

However, when it loaded crude oil in the Gulf and set sail, it was still worried. After all, there is a war here now.

Or is it the most terrible battle to attack oil tankers? Their huge hull will not be the target of attack?

They were unlucky. At the beginning of the ship attack, they had just entered the bay. Anyway, they were beaten when they went back empty. Since they came, they had to transport crude oil. It was their destiny to seek risk in wealth. They wanted to go back empty. How furious the ship owners should be.

"Don't be afraid. The day before yesterday, an oil tanker in the Han country set sail. It sailed in broad daylight and crossed the Strait safely without any blow." the captain said cheerfully to his crew.

The oil tankers from other countries did not dare to come, but the Chinese oil tankers continued to sail in a grand manner, and everyone was gnashing their teeth with envy.

The sovereignty negotiation of the Oriental Pearl has ended and will eventually return to the Han state. But now they belong to the colony and under the jurisdiction of the governor of Niu Guo.

It's all right in the Han Dynasty. The problem is that the flag of the Han Dynasty is hung on other people's masts!

"Why don't we also hang the flag of Han?" a crew member said carefully. Everyone knows that in this war, Han sold arms to the warring sides, and both sides benefited from Han. If they dare to bomb Han's oil tankers, they will be impatient.

Han is safe and sound, so hang up the flag of Han and pretend to be an oil tanker of Han?

"No, No. we don't fly any national flag." the captain refused his crew's proposal. He wouldn't do that with the national flag of Han. It's too embarrassing.

However, he does not hang other flags. This is a skill. Their tankers are so famous that they only know from the air that they are the largest sea giants in the world. They know that they are Oriental Pearl, and they know that they are Han countries, so that they can avoid being hit.

He didn't know that his refusal soon made him regret, because not all pilots knew it, and not all pilots had this patience.

A huge ship set sail.

Ordinary oil tankers mainly use low-speed marine diesel engines. However, the power of marine diesel engines is too small to drive the world's largest cargo ship. It uses Sumitomo stal Laval AP steam turbine with a total power of 50000 horsepower.

Now, black smoke came out of the steam boiler, and the tanker slowly left the wharf and began the frightening voyage.

An ordinary oil tanker needs more than a dozen crew members, but this tanker is too big. It carries nearly 40 crew members.

Like other cargo ships, in this thrilling voyage, no crew is willing to stay in the cabin. Once there is an accident, it is not easy to run.

Its crew, almost all on deck.

Even more than 30 people on the deck can't show them, because the deck is too huge.

If it's a container ship, it's full of containers, piled high. However, now it's an oil tanker, and the deck is flat, which shows that the deck is empty.

The width is 69 meters, as wide as the football field. As for the length, there are at least four football fields. If the crew are really bored, they can play football on the deck.

Now, of course, they don't have this idea. They are looking at the sky with vigilance. Soon, they see a fighter flying in the sky. When it approaches, the wings Shua, rotate forward and become straight.

MiG-23!

There are few fighters with variable swept wings. Among the equipment of yezao state and Sabbath state, only yezao state has such fighters. With the entry of a large number of j-14 and flying leopards, this MIG 23 fighter is quite backward in the equipment of yezao state.

I hope it doesn't come to trouble!

The crew were praying, but the plane clearly found them and came in their direction.

"Hey, look clearly, we are from the Han country!" someone had shouted at the sky, but it was useless. They saw the plane swooping towards them!
