Ship Launching 19.10.9 - Mitsui, Tamano

[zeriice9900]

how would it be if it launched sideways

[dtiydr]

Some said it looked ugly without the bulb, if this would had been an order from Chuck Norris this would have been the bulb.

[SCX2000SR]

world class shipyard, was there in 1998.

[SuperJared666]

beautiful

[replaygate7]

chuck norris accidentally touched it....

[wertyui459]

who's pushing?

[thetiger2580]

bravo voua .dar asa lansari nu am mai vazui niciodata

[jamsee88]

I wish that they had side-launched.

[TheScientist0000000]

Girliest way to launch a ship ever.

[freekook]

It looks like my big toe

[mangirl111]

OPRHA!

[naonaocx]

 Japan♪

[Plutonas78]

It looks mostly like a suezmax tanker or VLCC (though if am not mistaken Mitsui doesnt blt VLs...)

[Kazoo4U]

0:03 SPANK YO ASS.

[PussonBoost]

Over a certain length and weight a bulb looses its effectiveness. very large ships (like ex-BHP 'Iron Pacific') don'thave them

[vanbeukenmans]

@PussonBoost eh, the Jahre Viking/Knock Nevis had one?!

[tatortotz5]

thats a HUGE BITCH! O_O

[MrKalpman]

Out to kill some whales!

[niceparkjob]

@MrKalpman Japan: it's only for scientific studies!!!.....yeah ok

[hollowgirl1]

i like it!

[Sinfull702x602]

that ship is massive

[smiller773]

They look like conwebs

[iPaRaLiz3]

That dont look like a skip it looks like a spider web !! But nice video

[dangermous1968]

not as much fun as the launch that created a wave that wiped out most of the spectators but its nice to see Japan continueing their world domination ..........joke!!

[RuamVenero]

cool

[robebrjp]

os japoneses faltava agora com controle remoto

[alluminyo]

looks like a "Big TUb"

[taffboyslim]

Possibly the most undramatic ship launch I've ever watched - even the crowd are bored.

[PeacefulKancer]

I agree! LOL, and some fools have given you thumbs down for something very true!

[katagana]

looks like spiderman's ship

[estesoyojajaja]

yo, man. What is the name of the ship ?

[NinjahuaV2p1]

spidership

[Britannic1997]

im gonna make a cruise ship someday called sailor delle stelle, (sailor of the stars in english), and when I launch it I'm gonna play the music from titanic!

[emilyabbie]

looks like my bitch getting in the bath!!

[goodluckpeace44]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[grillurnuts]

THATS A HUGE BITCH!

[Plutonas78]

@grillurnuts and that's only 81000 dwt!!! (ie 229m of length approx)

[Shipspotter]

must be LADY GIOVI

Imo 9389227

[avcomth]

Usually the National anthem "Kimigayo" is played during a launch. Not this one though.

[idram12892]

this type of launch isn't as exciting as the sideways launchings

[transdrole]

Um..huge?

[tkenn17]

bottle of wine most likely "chritening" the ship

[xav233]

that's champagne...they should die for having wasted such a fine product

[thetool91]

[Serjoga90]

MITSUI TAMANO SUGOI DAYOU,,,,

[aleincue]

rudder? hmmm? i think i can get that one soon on the video..with a bulb it would definitely make more speed but the shape would then eat-up some cargo capacity on no.1 cargo hold.

[malizengin81]

looks very ugly without bulb :) but very nice launching&good show actually.congratulations.

[aleincue]

thank you for your comment. I had the same impression when I first saw it. But more than the looks I was wondering on how much speed reduction was due to the effect of the water resistance on bigger frictional area. Mitsui however compensated the lost of speed with their new designed rudder with fins, same effect as the nozzle for most of the tug boats. The new rudder design will give the extra thrust on the ship. Bigger cargo capacity with great propulsion system, isn't that great?!

[malizengin81]

actually,i would love to see how the rudder design is like. But now i have some other question in my mind, if there was a bulb, wouldnt the ship make more speed :) ?

[TylerReifenberger5]

yes it would but going off what aleincue said they made up for that

[travelguy78]

The bow might have something to do with Ice-Class? The "ULSTEIN AX104 Bourbon Orca" (youtube it) is another example of how shipbuilding is evolving. The Bourbon Orca's speed is unbeatable in bad weather. And as we all know the weather in the north sea is pretty rough
