From Denmark to Kaliningrad region a NATO ship arrived for a visit. The meeting of Russian and Danish sailors ended with sports competitions - tug of war and a football match. Watched friendly fights NTV correspondent Veronika Nikolaeva.

Torpedo tubes, Moskit launchers, Uragan anti-aircraft missile system. For the first time, the Commander-in-Chief of the Danish Navy, who arrived at the main base of the Baltic Fleet, is shown the armament of the destroyer Bespokoiny.

The tour lasts more than an hour, during the breaks, Rear Admiral Nilje Wang looks with excitement at the football field, where the Danish team is desperately fighting a team of Baltic sailors.

Nilje Wang, Commander-in-Chief of the Danish Navy: “The Russian Navy is one of the leading in the world. Such visits are very important for us, the only pity is that our sailors are losing.”

The visit of a NATO ship is purely business. It is designed to develop relations with foreign armies. But for Russian and Danish sailors, the most interesting thing is sports competitions in which you can measure your strength. The football field is dirty and damp, but passions run high to the limit, the whole stock of foreign words is used.

Dan Ouetsen, crew member of the Olfert Fischer frigate: “Good team, very strong. It’s hard to play with Russian sailors, we didn’t have the opportunity to train, we just got off the ship.”

The Russian sailors are strong opponents, but they admit that it is easier to play at home. Our soldiers have been preparing for the match for more than three months and as a result they beat the Danes with a score of 6:2.

Alexei Leontiev, crew member of the destroyer Bespokoyny: “The Danes are excellent players, they both attacked and scored. We were helped by the home field and the support of our guys.”

On the military frigate "Olfert Fischer" also prepared for the meeting. The foreigners lost the football match, but they are ready to surprise the Russians with fruits for breakfast, lunch and dinner and the presence of women among the ship's personnel.

Lorin Peterson, crew member of the Olfert Fischer frigate: “We do not think that a woman on a ship is a bad omen. We are treated with great respect as equal colleagues.”

In the program of the visit, the Danes liked the Russian national maritime fun - tug of war - the most. Although they participated in it for the first time, they were not inferior to the Baltics.

The friendly match ended with a traditional photo for memory. From the military harbor of Baltiysk, the reconnaissance ship must again go to sea. The Danes promised that by the next visit their crew would be not only in full combat, but also in sports readiness.

The famous showman and TV presenter, returning from a cruise on Caribbean on board the largest ship in the world, told FACTS about the miracle ship and its exotic route

Andrei Dzhedzhula is one of the first of our compatriots who was lucky enough to make a trip on the world's largest cruise ship Oasis of the seas, launched last year. The length of the 16-deck ship is about 361 meters, the width is 66 meters, and the height is highest point above the water line - 72 meters. Designed for 6 thousand 360 passengers and 2 thousand 100 crew members, the liner cost the customer almost one and a half billion dollars.

“A dress that is sold in Kyiv for a thousand dollars can be bought in Miami for 150”

This is a real city with a huge number of boutiques, restaurants, discos, swimming pools, fitness and spa centers, - Andrei Dzhedzhula shares his impressions. - Grandiose aqua shows, ice performances are arranged on the ship. There is even a garden on board with about 12,000 plants. Beautiful place! Every morning you wake up in a different part of the planet.

What was your itinerary?

Started from Miami. They did some shopping there first, as some of my friends lost their luggage. I never expected that everything that is so expensive in Ukraine can be so cheap there. For example, a dress that is sold in Kyiv for a thousand dollars can be bought in Miami for $150.

After the shops, we went to the port and, having checked in, got on board the ship - and much faster than you usually get on the plane. But about six thousand people were registered! Everything is thought out: everywhere there are separate exits and entrances - depending on the location of the cabins on the liner. First stop - the pirate island of St. Thomas ( Virgin Islands). The pirate theme is reflected here on all souvenirs. Highly beautiful beaches. Huge-ohm imposing iguanas crawl by the water! And so they strive to get under their feet. I even fed them. Then they moored to the island of Saint-Martin, divided between the French and the Dutch. Half of the population on it with French passports, the other half - with Dutch documents. And the island itself is the size of our Brovary (laughs). There are a lot of tourists here, so the prices for souvenirs are exorbitant.

You are an experienced traveler. I wonder what shocked you this time?

The first shock, of course, was the ship itself. A huge football field, a basketball court, a stadium for lovers of morning jogging, climbing slides, for extreme sports - a simulator of a tall surf wave in the pool, a "bungee" on which you soar ten floors down in free flight

I read that the ship is equipped with the latest technology.

This is true. Everything is thought out to the smallest detail, ultra-modern elevators are everywhere, including for the disabled. One of the passengers was completely motionless. Neither his legs nor his arms worked, the man did not part with the catheter and oxygen mask. He guided his wheelchair with the help of a special device ... in the pupil. By the way, there were a lot of travelers in electric chairs.

How long does it take to go around the whole ship?

I confess that in a week I did not bypass it! Although he was constantly on the move.

On such huge liner you can probably get lost

No no! At every step, a "virtual guide" is installed in the form of an electronic model of the ship. You press a button or type in a word and it becomes clear where you are in this moment or how to get from point A to point B.

Did you feel like you were not on a ship, but on land?

Yes, there was no pitching at all. You can put a glass on the table and it will not budge even a millimeter, the handle will not roll. Only once did the ship shake a little when we were sailing off the coast of Haiti, where an earthquake was taking place. Overboard at that time there was a terrible storm, but we felt only a slight vibration.

Are the cabins on the ship luxurious?

Nothing extraordinary, but very comfortable, there are even two-story apartments. I took a cabin with a sea view. There were also so-called "to the courtyard", that is, overlooking the garden. Each cabin has a TV. One channel constantly broadcasts in real mode the view from the bow of the ship.

“Ordering a limousine in New York is cheaper than taking several taxis for a large company”

How were you fed, anything special?

They prepared different dishes, probably the whole world cuisine was presented! The ship employs personnel from 80 countries. The “floating bar” is very unusual, which smoothly rises up and then falls down. Reminds me of a flying saucer.

Probably, in this you can get drunk in no time.

Yes (smiles). People drank there all the time.

In luxury hotels, guests often make nice gifts. Did they give you something?

Only one passenger received a gift. He lost 100 thousand dollars in a casino, and he was presented with four vouchers for this liner.

How for what? Valuable passenger! This one will play again and again.

By the way, how much did the trip cost you?

Expensive, not one thousand dollars. On the liner, however, cash was not needed at all. You pay for everything with a credit card. By the way, you enter it into the terminal when you leave the ship and when you return. This system is thought out so that none of the passengers is forgotten on the shore, not lost. True, if a person does not appear on the ship on time, several thousand people are unlikely to wait for him.

What did you buy as a memento of the trip?

Fridge magnets - nothing special.

And what struck you in Nassau?

Nassau is the place of the port "registration" of so many liners. There just aren't any! Even the Disney ship exists for families with children. Our liner, of course, stood out for its size. He was taller than everyone else.

Did you return on the same route?

We didn't stop at all on the way back. Exactly one day took the road to Miami, from there we flew to New York. True, they experienced stress there: they reported that the Kennedy airport was mined. We were not let out of the plane for three hours. When, finally, everyone left, they decided to make themselves happy: they ordered a limousine - it's cheaper than taking several taxis for a large company. In New York taxis, it is often forbidden to ride in the front seat. A special partition made of impenetrable glass separates the driver from passengers. This is due to the fact that taxi drivers are often attacked. Given this situation, two or three people are placed in a taxi, and there were eight of us. And we fit in the limousine.

We also enjoyed the best sushi in the world in New York - huge, like our chops, from the freshest fish, with a minimum of rice. What else? We visited the museum where the film "Night at the Museum" was filmed, went to the Broadway musical "The Phantom of the Opera", walked along Wall Street, took a helicopter tour over New York, wandered around the shops a little.

In a word, we had a great rest.

It is often expensive to transport cargo by air. Yes and no in the world of aircraft that are capable of taking 18,000 containers or a whole plant on board at a time.

8. Aircraft carrier USS Enterprise

Incredibly expensive and one of a kind aircraft carrier. It was planned to build five ships of this class. Only one has been implemented, floating since 1961. The main reason why there are no other such aircraft carriers anymore: the cost of the ship is $451 million.

The main distinguishing feature of the vessel is nuclear fuel. One "refueling" is enough for 13 years. And it is also the largest combat transport ship in the world: length - 342.3 meters.

7. Container ship Christopher Columbus

The length of the vessel is 365 meters. Able to accommodate 13 thousand 300 six-meter containers. Made in accordance with all modern environmental requirements and standards: does not pollute the sea, practically does not produce carbon dioxide

6. Container ship MSC Daniela

Length - 366 meters. Holds 14 thousand 6-meter containers. The main feature is the special steel from which this container ship was built. Thanks to it, the thickness of the ship's plating is less → the ship is an order of magnitude lighter than its colleagues in the shop. But the strength is the same.

5. Container ship Emma Mærsk

Built in 2006 in Denmark for the needs of Denmark. A little later, another 7 of the same ships were created. Length - 396.84 meters. Capacity - from 11 to 14 thousand 6-meter containers.

The ship is powered by a huge 2300-ton diesel engine. There are a lot of technologies on board, thanks to which the environment and all sorts of fighters for the cleanliness of the environment feel calm. It is noteworthy that the crew is only 13 people.

4. Container ship Jules Verne

The ship of the French company CMA CGM. Length - 396 meters. Cargo capacity - 16 thousand 20 six-meter containers. Made in accordance with all environmental standards. On board is an incredibly powerful engine: it produces so much energy that it would be enough to supply a town with 16,000 inhabitants.

3. Container ship Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller

Length - 399 meters. Power - two engines with a capacity of 43 thousand horsepower each. Carrying capacity - 18 thousand 270 six-meter containers. The ship was built in South Korea Daewoo company. The cost is $190 million. Launched in 2013. The crew is only 19 people.

The largest ships in the world

Description and dimensions of the most big ships that are afloat today.

Probably the largest vessel in the history of mankind in terms of the use of usable space in the hold was Noah's Ark, and some sailboats in the last century exceeded the existing ones in size, but modern ocean monsters made of metal with a displacement of a small lake impress with their size, power or luxury. Humanity continues to build towers of babel not only on land, but also at sea.

To date, the most big ship in the world - Knock Nevis . This tanker is designed to transport fuel. Length 459 m, width - 24m. The ship's displacement is 565 thousand tons.

Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller is the world's largest container ship. Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller on July 15, 2013 left for its first flight. Its length is 400 meters, width - 59 meters, capacity - 18,000 containers, carrying capacity - 165,000 tons.

Its length is 400 meters, width - 59 meters, capacity - 18,000 containers, carrying capacity - 165,000 tons.

The largest cruise ship is considered "Allure of the Seas» (Charm, Oasis of the Seas). It was put into operation in 2010. Its dimensions are: length - 362 meters, width - 66 meters, height - 72 meters. Displacement - 225 thousand tons.

Oasis of the Seas is the first vessel to receive the Green Label on the DNV (Det Norske Veritas) passport. This means that it is extremely friendly to the environment. It uses an advanced sewage treatment system that has been designed to be twice as strict as US federal standards for discharge of sewage in ports.

Another very famous cruise ship is "Queen Mary 2". It was built in France in 2003 and at that time was the largest cruise ship in the world. Length - 345 meters, width - 41, height - 71 m. Capacity 2600 people

« Prelude"- the largest floating installation for the production and liquefaction of natural gas.

The vessel is 488 meters long, 78 meters wide, and has a displacement of 600,000 tons. It is assumed that the platform will move with the help of tugs. Only the absence of its own running gear does not allow Prelude to be called a champion among giant ships. The platform is still not a ship.

4 football fields located one behind the other shorter than the installation deck.

The 6 largest aircraft carriers have a total displacement corresponding to the displacement of the "Prelude",
93 meters - this is the height of the platform column.

« Nimitz"- the largest aircraft carrier in the world. Displacement - 106,000 tons. Its length is 333 meters. Height - 73 meters. Deck Width - 78 meters, thanks to which this giant can accommodate 64 aircraft and 26 helicopters). The crew of "Nimitz" has more than 3 thousand people.

By the way, the Nimitz aircraft carrier can be operated for twenty years without changing the energy source of the power plant. This means that it can be safely sent for this long period to long journey. The first aircraft carrier of this series was launched back in 1975.

Among the aircraft carriers of Europe and Asia, a ship stands out, named after the great admiral of the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kuznetsov. This giant is considered one of the most powerful and largest.

The largest warship in Russia is a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser, named after the great admiral of the USSR Ministry of Finance, Nikolai Gerasimovich Kuznetsov. Perhaps outwardly it is inferior to American aircraft carriers, but the real power of the ship lies in the armament, means of protection and absolutely secret nuances of a warship. Let's hope we never find out which of these floating military airfields is the coolest. This can only be verified in real combat conditions.

The width of the ship is also impressive - almost 21 meters. The ship cost its owner $610 million.

The Royal Clipper has an automated sailing section designed by Choren Design & Consultancy. Now only twenty people are engaged in setting the sails, while the officer on duty from the bridge gives "push-button" commands to the mechanized rotating yards, and the powerful hydraulic winches make the frying.

The largest submarine in the world - a heavy nuclear missile strategic submarine "Dmitry Donskoy"- the only representative of the project 941 "Shark", remaining in the Russian fleet.

This giant with a nine-story building height and a displacement of 50,000 tons remains the largest submarine in history.

Length - 172 meters

In the 1990s, some vessels of the Volgo-Don type were reconstructed into the river-sea type, which allowed them to go to closed seas and make international flights, mainly the Mediterranean and Baltic Seas. Remanufactured ships are either shorter or have higher bow and increased height of the holds.
