Whoever does it does not speak. Who says it does not In the United States, they are not used to waiting for holidays and anniversaries for the solemn acceptance of military equipment. Instead of beautiful television plots with officials' speeches against the background of ships under construction (and very rarely - completed) ships, in the United States there is a daily painstaking

A viscous and viscous void fills the space. An inexplicable substance with the density of a neutron star, owing neither time nor space. Its tiny particles form patterns with such high degrees of symmetry that the void seems to be an artificially created, intelligent organism

Weapons, without the possibility of using them, are a pile of scrap metal. Exposing liberal myths about the weakness of the Russian Navy, the obsolescence of the ship structure in the absence of replacement under construction, the slow construction time of ships and the general uselessness of the fleet.

In response to Stalin's proposal to divide the remnants of the German fleet, Churchill made a counter-proposal: "Flood." To which Stalin objected: “Here you drown your half.” Here is a legend in its various interpretations associated with the division of the fleets of the Axis countries.

In nineteen military campaigns, she sank 226 ships. The U-35 trophies were not paper ships, as evidenced by the total tonnage of the drowned - half a million tons. Well, to be precise, 575 387 tons is unimaginable. And, frankly, scary. At the end of the 12th combat patrol, the only

The scandal with the sailor, whose selfie on the social network revealed the position of the cruiser Peter the Great, deserves a separate article. Why is Internet access on board a warship dangerous? And is it really the fault of the sailors who posted the pictures of their campaign on the network?

The ship and its crew disappear into fire and water. Their approximate place of death remains in the format xx ° xx ’xx’, and shells fired by dead sailors fly towards the enemy for another minute. The sea battle is epic and beautiful. But few people living on the shore are able to imagine the true power

He is glorious not for what he accomplished, but for who he is. Such can stand all their life in the port, changing the entire paradigm of the fleet with one fact of their existence. But to represent "Zamvolt" only

This story has already passed three hundred years. How was the French frigate Serpan (Snake) with a cargo of gunpowder for the Brest garrison intercepted by a Dutch warship? In the midst of the battle, the captain noticed how the little cabin boy was hiding in fright behind the mast. "Lift him up," shouted the captain, "and tie him to the mast

The ratio of victories and defeats in battles involving large ships is described by the well-known “Gauss curve”. Where on both ends of the spectrum there are epic heroes and clear outsiders, and in the middle - the "middle class", with its periodic successes and failures. That is why the statement that heavy cruisers and

Ocean lords have become, you are not the brainchild of darkness or light. You are only strength. You are outside of morality. Although not everyone realized this.

Seas and oceans cover seven-tenths of the Earth's surface, but most people have never seen ocean sunsets or real ships in their lives.

Remember, the ark was built by an amateur. The professionals built the Titanic. Any work is easy for a person who is not obliged to do it, therefore so many inventions belong to enthusiasts. While the generals are preparing for the past wars, and the graduates propose to abandon

The beginning of the era of perestroika and the criminal policy of mutual disarmament caused irreparable damage to the navies. The most seriously affected by Russia's actions was the US Navy, which lost most of its ships and all promising weapons programs. The Arkansas nuclear cruiser was decommissioned in
