Ship construction

How do submarines work? It depends on what their power source, engine, and hull is made out of. The difference in how they work could also lead into what their purpose is. There are many things that make a Submarine work like their engine, power source, weapons, and hull plating; they all rise and submerge essentially the same way. How do subs rise and sink? It is done with something called the Archimedes Principle. To sink the sub has several different components that have to move. One of them is the Main vent. This is closed while the sub is on the surface. The vent closes when the sub begins to submerge. This allows the air to be let out of the Ballast Tank which fills up with water when the sub submerges. To allow water to flood the Ballast Tanks the flood ports allow the water to come in. Once all of the air has been let out of the tanks the main vent closes. To surface again the sub has a similar, but different process. Like the process to submerge the same components have to move or allow something in. In the process of surfacing air has to be put into the ballast tanks in order to make the sub lighter than the water. To do this the main vent must be closed. Then air is pumped into the ballast tanks from the pressurized compartment. This then pushes out the water that was in ballast tanks through the flood ports that originally allowed the water in. Subs may rise and submerge the same, but their purposes can be very different. There are many…

as the inability to ship time sensitive cargo could result in the death of injured patients awaiting treatment and economic difficulties, as new routes would need to be created while construction took place. When the I-35W Mississippi Rover Bridge collapsed in 2007, 13 people were killed and traffic was rerouted for a year and a half while a new bridge’s construction was rushed for $234M USD. The bridge’s age and a lack of quality maintenance were responsible for the collapse in this incident.…

rocky bluffs of Edisto Island. The salty spray had little time to dissipate before the next thundering crash pounded into its levying boarders. And with the rolling of the tide came three demanding ships. Occupied by three hundred souls per vessel. Nine hundred men with a cause and mission. The serenity of peaceful blue skies garnished by flights of seagulls rapidly vanished, as looming gray clouds of damnation forced their way over the eastern coastline. An unseasonably cool and high wind…

Voe, Shetland Islands, nearby the coast of Scotland, to Come-by-Chance, Newfoundland. Just before the tanker burst, it was travelling through 44 mph winds and 25 foot waves (Reuters). The ship was built in 1971 (Reuters) by the Diamond Port Shipping Corp of Monrovia, Liberia. Its length overall was 275.00 meters and the beam was 43.00 meters (Cedre). Despite its roots, the vessel was owned by the British, not by the Liberians. After the vessel construction was completed, Polembros Shipping Ltd.…

As my ship drifts along the soothing but trembling water, I import to the desired location of the Panama Canal. The vast jungle ahead lures me to it as I juggle my luggage into my car. Entering the mysterious enviroment, I her a slight sound of some sort of bird overhead, until it was interupted of an alarming sound of a howler monkey, swinging through the treetops. As I pull into my post, I notice some desperate victims of the sort of well know disease, yellow fever. Questioning their state of…

Naval architecture is an engineering branch concentrating on the design and construction of water-use vehicles. Skilled professionals with advanced technical knowledge physics, materials science and engineering, boat creation is assisted by naval architects. I think writing a report on being a naval architect is better for me, because I want to go to the military when I get out of school and I like the construction of objects. The education required for being a naval architect is having the…

Also, each type of carpentry needs much of the same and different types of tools to do the job that is required. Lastly, there are many different types of tools involved in the industry of carpentry. Carpentry tools are tools for carrying out wood work or artistic crafts on wood by carpenters. "Wood working tools help a carpenter or a woodworker in making or repairing objects made of wood or work done in wood, especially wooden interior fittings in a house, as moldings, doors, staircases, or…

The first reinforced concrete high-rise building is the Ingalls Building, built in 1903 in Cincinnati, Ohio. All the key developments in reinforced concrete buildings in that time have contributed in the design and construction of Ingalls Building. Richard W. Steiger defined the Ingalls Building, ‘These developments included heavy monolithic beam-and-slab construction with tension reinforcing, two-way reinforcing systems, and bent bars and stirrups. Also used were hoops and continuous helixes…

Mainly due to the fact of an increasing commercial and colonial rivalry in order have the safety and power to move freely amongst the ocean in exploration of new lands. Improvement as stated in (Kennedy, 1987, p. 29) that is derived from the arms race and the scramble to trade would be improved cartography, navigational tablets, new instruments like the telescope, barometer, back staff, and gimbaled compass, and better methods of ship building helped make maritime travel less unpredictable form…
