It stands for "Royal Mail Ship".

Other people say it stands for "Royal Majesties' Ship".

The RMS Titanic was indeed a Royal Mail Ship. Royal Majesties is incorrect; the only thing RMS stands for is Royal Mail Ship. Look up any history of the Titanic, and you will see that it was a mail ship. Some of the artifacts in the traveling Titanic exhibition include correspondence, bank drafts and other official papers being transported to North America.

The Lightning in 1853 set the all-time record for a single day's sail, covering 436 nautical miles in 24 h. simple maths dictate 18.5 knots on average.

It was called a figurehead, and was not always a woman. It could be a man, or a representation of Neptune or other mythological figure, or a horse, lion or dragon, ie something that suited the name of the ship. For example, HMS Centurion might have the figure of a Roman soldier.
The figurehead is the carved wooden statue, usually of a woman, sometimes a mermaid, often bare-breasted.
The Figurehead - A carved figure perched on the front or bow of sailing vessels that helped establish a ship's identity.
The general term is 'figure-head'. The names of particular figure-heads depends on the name of the ship.

Carriers, battleships, and heavy cruisers. Heavy cruisers had 8" guns, light cruisers had 6" guns.

Modern steel battleships, as people know them today came out in the 1880s. The only true modern steel battleship fleet sea battle took place on 27 May 1905 in the Tsushima Strait. No decisive battleship fleet actions have ever occurred since that naval engagement.

The USS Enterprise (CV-6) was the most decorated warship in WWII. She outlived her sisters USS Yorktown (CV-5) and USS Hornet (CV-8) who were sunk at Midway and Santa Cruz in '42. She was the last of the Yorktown class fleet carriers. An attempt to save her as a memorial failed, and she was scrapped in 1959. Currently, the most decorated US warship might be the battleship USS New Jersey, this warship is the only Vietnam Veteran Battleship, holding 19 battlestars. She fired almost 6,000 rounds of 16 inch shells at communist target in Vietnam; more shells than she did in WWII and Korea combined.

Yes.
The captain (Edward John Smith) died along with his ship.

Paddy Brind-Sheridan was Captain of Royal Marines fom December 1942 to March 1944. His winger was Lt. David Mosely Additional Information: These records are still kept by the Ministry of Defence who will release information to the seaman, or to a next of kin, for a fee.

It depends on the type of engines that the ship has, but most large cargo and container ships use heavy fuel oil called bunker fuel. In some cruise ships, they burn bunker fuel to spin electric generators that produce electricity for motors. Smaller vessels use various types of Diesel.

It was a cargo freighter, not a warship. It was better than any other because it was cheap and simple to build at a time when a lot of ships were needed and a lot of them were being sunk by U-boats. Although liberty ships were never intended for combat use, several were converted during the Vietnam War era to serve in combat functions as intelligence gathering and communications platforms-research ships. Several did see combat, one was responsible for the first sinking of a German surface ship by an American vessel during WW2.

He went on four voyages.

A bulkhead is a nautical term for a "wall" in a ship. It is a structural element and a load bearing division of a vessel, and it can run beam to beam or fore and aft. Bulkheads could separate something like the grain storage compartments in a barge, or could run along either side of a passageway on a cruise ship. A baffle may provide some structural support, but it is a partition with holes in it. We'll see baffles in something like the fuel tanks of large ships. The baffles will inhibit the movement of fuel from one side of the vessel to the other as it rolls in seas, and this will increase stability dramatically.

The weight of an oil tanker can vary depending on its size and capacity. On average, an oil tanker can weigh anywhere from 50,000 to 500,000 tons when fully loaded with oil.

Many ships use MDO or Marine Diesel Oil, sometimes also known as #2 Diesel. Ships can also use HFO or Heavy Fuel Oil or Bunker C. These are crude oil derivatives that are largely unrefined. They are very thick and need to be heated by steam in order to reduce its viscosity to allow them to flow.

The primary advantages of so-called high speed steels is in their ability to withstand heat created from the friction of a fast moving cutting tools such as drill bits or saw blades. They are formulated with specific alloys which make them heat resistant and more wear resistant than regular high carbon steels.

I would like to know the name of the little girl who drowned on the ship Queen Mary. She was 7 years old. Very nice. But i forgot her name. I would like to know that. She died in the 1st class swimming pool.

The Jesse Belle is a real ship. The captain named it after his true love, Jesse Belle.
