      There's a lot of super cool science involved in this. I wish Smarter Every day would do a video on it. Basically, Steel has great tensile strength (think of a string being pulled apart), but it also has a memory effect to it. This means that it can flex and twist a great deal and still return to its original shape without damage. whats interesting about this feature of steel is that it allows the ship to move around the waves instead of pounding the crap out of the occupants and the cargo. think of this flexing as what a spring and shock absorber is in a car's suspension. when you hit a bump (wave) the force would transfer straight from the collision into the chasis and into you. when the ship flexes, the energy of the wave travels through the entire length of the ship and is spread out over a greater distance rather than on one single point, causing less fatigue and greater comfort. believe me, if the ship's hull was rigid and strong enough not to flex over that length, it would be massively heavier and cause huge impulses of pounding instead of a gradual twisting and rocking.

The true value of that event is totally personal, and has no value outside their ego. Or yours. 95% of the worlds population will never ever have that kind of wealth. Not because they are failures.

    • @omneil
      @omneil 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      @@abrahamjohn4397 Yes the U-235 doesn't last for ever about 25 yrs. In the United States Navy, Refueling and Overhaul (ROH) refers to a lengthy process or procedure performed on nuclear-powered naval ships, which involves replacement of expended nuclear fuel with new fuel and a general maintenance fix-up, renovation, and often modernization of the entire ship. In theory, such a process could simply involve only refueling or only an overhaul, but nuclear refueling is usually combined with an overhaul. An ROH usually takes one to two years for submarines and up to almost three years for an aircraft carrier, performed at a naval shipyard. Time periods between ROHs on a ship have varied historically from about 5-20 years (for submarines) to up to 25 years (for Nimitz-class aircraft carriers). For modern submarines and aircraft carriers, ROHs are typically carried out about midway through their operating lifespan. There are also shorter maintenance fix-ups called availabilities for ships periodically at shipyards. A particularly lengthy refueling, maintenance, and modernization process for a nuclear aircraft carrier can last up to almost three years and be referred to as a Refueling Complex Overhaul (RCOH).

    I dont know what your ship is like but you can occasionally hang cots from the ceiling and lay on them, sconce they are free to sway they will move less than the boat and in a more stable manner, easier to rest...

    • @billirvine8007
      @billirvine8007 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      A hang cot, or hammock, slung fore and aft does take up the rolling motion but not the pitching motion. A thwartship hammock takes up pitching but not rolling. As a ship pitches and rolls in bad weather one still gets buffeted around in a hammock. It is of no advantage except for space saving. Bill Irvine

    • @billirvine8007
      @billirvine8007 5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      What a load of rubbish. Obviously none of you have ever been at sea in good or bad weather. Hammocks yes, but not very comfortable unless you like lying in the shape of a banana. On ships the ceiling is the deckhead. can you imagine trying to get into a cot hanging from the deckhead in good weather, never mind in a storm. Stick to what you know about. don't let your imagination go mad. By the way most navy's have given up hammocks and fitted bunks on their warships. A bunk with lifting sides is as good as any other solution. You just have to put up with it, that's the life of the mariner.

    • @dannykerby9580
      @dannykerby9580 5 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      I am in the Navy, and some of us hang hammocks in the shop during bad weather. The key is lying diagonally in the hammock and tying some elastic shock cord on each side to dampen the swaying. Our racks also have straps to hold you in. Sleeping while the ship is pitching is hard, rolling isn’t so bad. My rack was next to the hull on the port fwd quarter against the hull so I got to hear the water rushing by. Very relaxing and quite used to it after 13 years at sea.

    When I was 6, my parents and I travelled across the South Pacific on a cargo ship like yours. It was March, so peak cyclone season and we caught the back end of one cyclone and the front of another that had been vicious enough to wipe out the wharf in Apia, Samoa. I remember going up the bridge with my Dad and him picking me up to see over the dash and it was a lot like the view in this video with dark skies and the waves crashing over the hull. The sound of cyclonic winds out on the open ocean with nothing break the gusts is one of most terrifying noises on earth, paired with the hull creaking and popping and boat tilting up to 15 degrees either way.

    When the ship flexes it is not succumbing to the sea. They are built with flex joints so the hard brittle steel doesn't bend and break. It is supposed to flex.

      Yes, you are right. I was on 3 Gearing class destroyers in the '66-'72 era and they were about 390' long and had expansion joints at the beam (widest point of the ships, about 40-45 ft wide), heavy rubber joints.
