Ambiguous confusing results that were totally unanticipated.
Every Caribbean cruise I have been on requires the passenger to use the ship's own credit card for onboard purchases, including beverages, shore excursions, photographs, etc. The passenger gives the purser either a personal credit card or any chosen amount of cash to cover these onboard purchases. This transaction is done at the very beginning of the cruise. On some cruises, this ship's card is also the room key. On every ship, this card must be shown when leaving and returning to the ship while it is docked at any port.
Assuming fuel consumption is consistent, if the cruise ship moves 6 inches and burns 1 gallon of fuel, it would burn 1 gallon every 6 inches. In 100 miles, there are 6,336,000 inches. Therefore, in 100 miles, the cruise ship would burn approximately 1,056,000 gallons of fuel.
The main frame or body of a ship is called the hull. It is the watertight body of a ship that provides structure and buoyancy. The hull determines the ship's stability, strength, and seaworthiness.
The block coefficient (CB) is calculated as the ratio of the underwater volume of a ship's hull to the volume of a rectangular block that has the same overall length, breadth, and draft as the ship. The formula for block coefficient is: [ CB = \frac{V_{ship}}{L \times B \times T} ] Where: CB = Block coefficient Vship = Underwater volume of the ship's hull L = Length of the ship B = Breadth of the ship T = Draft of the ship
In the line The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won; Rack means buffet or pounding ... the storm against the side of the ship. And in this poem, since the ship is a metaphor for life, it means obstacles or trials. That the person has overcome all the obstacles of life and come out okay... hasn't broken down, gone crazy, or strayed from the course.
Also known as a rack.
Cleaning the ship up and displaying flags and bunting.
It means the ship is capable of carrying 20,000 20-foot containers.
Giants who destroyed every ship but Odysseus' ship.

It means to open valves to let sea water fill the ship, then to leave the ship to sink. In wartime, often done rather than let the enemy have the ship.
There is a board in the pilot house of every ship where there is a copy of every officers license.
ships are not meant for being safe at the harbour, they are meant to get drowned in all possible waves
You probably are thinking of the word "scuttling" here. To scuttle a ship is to open holes in the hull and let in the water. It means to sink your own ship on purpose.
Sinking it deliberately to avoid it being of use to an enemy.
