The stealth capabilities of this vessel include the potential for a mini-submarine capable of delivering teams of Navy SEALs for missions of reconnaissance and combat. The nuclear reactor is paired with two turbine engines and a pump jet, generating over 29 megawatts of energy.



32. INS Vikramaditya. $2.35 billion.


The INS Vikramaditya is a modified Kiev-class aircraft carrier purchased by India’s military from Russia’s military-industrial complex.

Sometime back, a 40ft container dropped on a 18seater Bus and it took the rescue officials about a day to lift the container off the victims. They had to move from one state to another before they could get a mobile crane.

I don't think its too much if the FRSC is having 3 of this in each state in case of emergency.

this ship is a sight to behold, is it bigger than the TITANIC?

Some Interesting Facts About Oasis Of The Seas.

* 3years is how long the boss of STX Europe shipyard in Turku, Finland was given to build this mammoth ship. His brief was very particular: a ship large enough for 8,000 passengers and crew, complete with a landscaped park, whopping theatres, casinos and ice rinks, even an onboard hospital. All to be completed in 1,095 days.


* 6 weeks is how long it took to carve each of the 18 wooden animals on the fairground carousel to include zebras, giraffes and even lions as well as7 is the number of 'districts' the ship is split into. In the middle is Central Park, a 350ft-long grassy spot with plants, trees and bamboo. The Boardwalk houses a carousel, carnival games and even a fake tattoo parlour. There's also the Royal Promenade, or shopping street; a Pool and Sport Zone; an Entertainment Place and a Youth Zone.


* 17.9 feet is the depth of the swimming pool in the AquaTheatre. It was built with a 750-seater arena, two surfmachines and fountains. Suspended above it are two climbing walls, diving towers and even a trapeze.



* 32 inches is the size of the screen of the smallest television set onboard. In fact, every cabin (both staff and passenger's) has a highdefinition set that you can use not only to watch films and programmes - but to book spa treatments and on-shore excursions.


* 22.6 knots is Oasis Of The Sea's cruising speed - not easy given that she often has to change course rapidly and, on occasion, perform the maritime equivalent of a handbrake turn.


* 50 tonnes of ice are produced onboard every day by special ice machines for 37 bars and more than 20 cafes and restaurants.208 feet is the width of the ship - wider than the wingspan of a Boeing 747.


* 93 different plant varieties are to be found on the ship. There is even an onboard nature guide for botanically inclined passengers.


* 37 bars, 50 tons of ice: incredible facts about the leviathan of luxury.


* 130 square feet of real gold leaf gilding were used to make the decadent carousel on the Boardwalk.



* 131 is the number of feet above sea level of the four Jacuzzis, suspended high above the ocean on either side of the ship.


* 150 miles of pipework run through the ship and that's not even counting the 3,300 miles of electrical cabling and 100,000 lighting points that all have to be rigged up.



* 460slot machines are found in the casino where better to blow all that holiday cash burning a hole in your pocket?


1,187 feet is the ship's length from bow to stern. That's one and a half times the length of Tower Bridge - 800ft - or equivalent to four football pitches.



* At 240ft, the ship is taller than Nelson's Column.


* 6,360 is the maximum number of passengers that can fit onboard at any one time - that's more people than can fit in the Royal Albert Hall,which has a comparatively meagre 5,544 seats.


* 7,500 is the horsepower of each of the four bow thrusters that manoeuvre the ship. Each of them has ten times the horsepower of Jenson Button's Formula 1 racing car.



* 8,000 man years of labour were painstakingly ploughed into building this ship which is more like a mini country than a boat. But with the combined effort of 3,200 hard-grafting shipyard workers, it only took three years to complete - amazingly on schedule.



* 10,000 is the square footage of the onboard shops. From Italian jewellers and organic T-shirt companies, to computer game shops and designer boutiques. Oh, and some duty-free, of course.



* 50,000 pieces of cutlery are kept in the hotel's main dining room, Opus. No doubt, they're all needed - after all, there are more than 500 tables, which can seat 3,056 guests at any one time, so there's plenty of call for the 550 dining room staff too.



* 60,000 is the number of napkins that guests are expected to use on every voyage.



* 75,000 is the number of telephone calls that Royal Caribbean Cruises are inundated with every day - from people interested in booking a trip.



* 600,000 litres of paint were used to decorate the ship. After all, there were 2,706 guest state rooms (that's bedrooms to you and me) to paint, not to mention the shops, bars, swimming pools and entertainment spots.


* 1,700,000 is the number of hours it took to complete the design and engineering plans alone. And that's before you even think about building the thing.


* 2,350,000 LITRES of water will be used by passengers and crew, every day of sailing. It is stored in 31 huge tanks.

▶ Size is everything: The ship dwarves the USS Ramage which lies at anchor in the Solent.


▶ Limbo dance: The Oasis Of The Seas lowers its smokestacks to squeeze under the Great Belt Bridge as it leaves the Baltic Sea with barely 2ft to spare.


▶ Luxury: Interior of the huge ocean liner which boasts 21 swimming pools, an aqua park, a carousel, a rock climbing wall and a science lab.
