How many years do ships live? The exact answer to this question is most likely not found in the textbooks on the marine case. But you can try to find the oldest acting ship on the fleet.

As part of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, which is based in Sevastopol, is the oldest ship of the Russian Navy - rescue boat-catamaran, which is already 99 years old.

Saving vessel-catamaran "Commune" is the oldest ship of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia. On November 12, 2012, the 100th anniversary will be celebrated from the day bookmarking of the vessel. The project of the first in the domestic history of a specialized two-circuant vessel - the rescue of submarines was developed back in 1911 by order of the Sea General Staff. As a prototype, the German catamaran "Volcano" was used.

"Commune" has a displacement of 3,100 tons, its length is 81 m, the width is 13.2 m. Weapons are not. Crew: 23 people.

The ship's housing is made from Putilovskaya steel and is, of course, not in perfect, but in full working condition. The vessel is constantly subjected to current repairs, because he certainly, even by human standards, is not even pre-presented, but a deeply davenk age.

We will rise on the ladder to the "Commune" to get acquainted with the veteran closer.

In Sevastopol, "Commune" was converted to the carrier vessel in the carrier of deep-water apparatuses. The re-equipment project was completed by the end of 1969 in the Sevastopol CKB "Chernomorets". By the time of the work on the SMZ (April 27, 1973), the cost of re-equipment of the vessel was about 11 million rubles.

On the currently The rescue ship "Comunna" passed a dock repair, and, despite age, actively participates in various events of the Fleet Rescue Service with exits in the sea.

People have long sought to create something great, once at a time raising the bar and involving the incessant demonstration of superiority and strength. Each new creation, structure or mechanism should have been stronger, faster, higher, wider, larger and stronger than previous ones. Military industry is no exception. Since ancient times, the power of the military fleet largely determined the winner of the fight and clearly demonstrated the alignment of the forces. Civilization was constantly fighting for fertile land and influence in strategically beneficial sea basins. As a result, thousands of magnificent and amazing ships designed to witness their country were built over the past century. In this selection you are waiting for the 25 largest military vessels, ever descended into water.

An ancient ship found archaeologists at the Black Sea Day. Presumably, ancient Greek vessel turned out to be at a depth of a little more mile. There is little oxygen here, so the ship has preserved well. It survived the steeringors, masts and benches for rowers.

Small fragments of finds are sent for analysis to Southampton University. The researchers team plans to leave the ship on the same place of the seabed off the coast of Bulgaria, where it was found.

For three years, the International Group of Scientists for Studying Changes in the Sea level in the prehistoric period in the Black Sea has made more than six dozen finds. A two-hour film about his work archaeologists will show in the British Museum.

Today in Times

The remains of the most ancient shipwreck in the world are found in the Black Sea

Found "Odyssey", traveling in time

Ben Webster.

The oldest in the world is intact ship, crashing, with mast, steering and benches for rowers found at the Black Sea Day, where he lay over 2400 years.

The 23-meter commercial vessel was detected lying on the side using a submarine with remote control. British scientists from the sea archaeological project of the Black Sea, which detected this shipwreck, say that its location - about 50 miles from the coast of Bulgaria - showed how far an ancient Greek merchants were drunk from the coast.

It also showed the accuracy of the artist Siren (the name given an ancient Greek artist who lived in Attica, who adorganized, but did not sign the so-called red-black vases. Its real name is unknown, like the date of his birth and death. - Approx. aprosh.), which painted vessels for wine: on what is being stored now in the British Museum, Odyssey is tied to the mast an amazingly similar ship.

The benches of the rowers lying on the wreckage are also similar to those who sat Sailors Odyssey, shutting up the ears with wax, so as not to hear the sweet-haired Siren - the demonic semi-sepal semi-bellows who lured them on the rocky coast of the island.

"No one could say how accurate was the image on a vase with sirens and painted the artist imaginary or what saw, "said John Adams, Professor of Archeology at the University of Southampton and the chief scientist, who found the driving ship. - Now we see archaeological certificates confirming that the ship on the vase is very close in detail, up to the form of the steering wheel of the control, to the script. The artist probably was familiar with the ships. ".

He explained that the lack of oxygen in the Black Sea is deeper than 490 feet (150 meters) ensured the preservation of wooden sunken ships, whereas in other seas they would have been absorbed by sea organisms.

The ship on a vase with sirens has a similarity with the ship, fascinated In the Black Sea.

"We have very few parts of the ships of this age, and even more so nothing like that remains from the ancient Greek world.", - he added.

The scientist said that the vessels calculated to walk both on the oars and in the sails were mainly used for trade, but the sailors could also participate in "small raids" on the coastal settlements of the Black Sea.

Probably, the ship was based in one of the ancient Greek settlements on the coast of modern Bulgaria. Professor Adams said that the location of the sunken ship, located 50 miles from Sushi, showed that "Ancient sailors did not focus on the shore, timidly moving from the port to the port, and go swimming in the open sea".

Found ship is one of the 67 impact of shipwrecks found over the past three years during the implementation of the project using submarines with remote control, working on ships, which are commonly used in the sea oil and gas industry.

Other found sunken ships - Roman commercial vessel 200 BC, found on which the team broken by AMFOR managed to restore. They also found 1200-year-old sunken ships of the Byzantine Empire, a medieval Italian vessel and several relative to the Ottoman Empire from the XVI to the XVIII century.

"These sunken ships suggest that all settlements around the Black Sea from the earliest times associated the intensive marine message"- Professor Adams emphasized. He added that at the bottom of the Black Sea, even older sunken ships will be discovered, since so far less than 5 percent of the territory most used by the ancient ships will be inspected.

It is not yet known whether there was some cargo on an ancient Greek ship, because inside it is covered with a catch, which scientists hope to remove if they manage to find funding for the next expedition.

The project, funded by Julia and Hans Rauzing Trust, is designed not to search for sunken ships, and for mapping an ancient landscape of the Black Sea, which was flooded with thousands of years with rising waters formed as a result of ice melting after the end of the last glacial period.

How many years do ships live? The exact answer to this question is most likely not found in the textbooks on the marine case.
Then you can try to find the oldest acting ship on the fleet.
As part of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, which is based in Sevastopol, is the oldest vessel of the Navy of Russia - the Katamaran Rescue Savaglet "Commune", which is already 99 years old.
