One of the craziest and most famous incidents involving the USS Missouri BB-63 occurred during the signing of the Instrument of Surrender that effectively ended World War II. On September 2, 1945, the USS Missouri was chosen as the location for the signing ceremony, which was attended by high-ranking officials from the Allied and Japanese forces. As the signing took place on the ship's deck, one of the USS Missouri's gunners, named Robert Moore, decided to have a bit of fun. Without warning, Moore fired a celebratory shot from one of the ship's guns, creating a loud explosion that startled everyone on board. The Japanese delegation was particularly shaken by the incident, fearing that the war had somehow restarted. The incident was quickly resolved, but it has become a legendary story associated with the USS Missouri and the end of World War II. In a strange twist of fate, Robert Moore passed away on September 2, 2014, exactly 69 years to the day after firing the famous shot. His legacy lives on as a reminder of the incredible history and unique experiences associated with the USS Missouri BB-63. ________________________________________ Credits /u/history-guy111111 ________________________________________ #USSMissouri #BB63 #Battleship #USNavy #NavyHistory #WWII #worldwar1 #PacificTheater #NavalPower #NavalHistory #RoughSeas #ShipInStorm #MilitaryHistory #NavalMight #NavyPride #SeaPower #USMilitary #MightyMo #NavalWarfare #navyhistory #worldwar2 #militaryvessel #battleship #historicship #roughseas #navystrong #veterans #ussmissouri

Explosions under the Baltic Sea and the rupture of major natural gas pipelines from Russia to Germany appeared to be a deliberate attack, officials across Europe said on Tuesday, deepening uncertainty about European energy security amid soaring prices and fears of running short of fuel over the winter.Three separate leaks erupted from the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines, sending swirling streams of methane to the surface of waters off Denmark and Sweden. Top Polish and Ukrainian leaders blamed Moscow, while Russian state media suggested U.S. or Ukrainian involvement. The apparent attack had no immediate effect on European energy supplies; Nord Stream 2 has never gone into service, and Nord Stream 1 has been shut down since August. But it raises the stakes — and European jitters — in a simmering energy war between Russia and the West prompted by the invasion of Ukraine. Repairs could take up to several months, experts say, beginning with detailed inspections of the damage before any work could begin. _________________________ Credits to the Danish Military _________________________ #oilandgasprofessional #offshorelife #offshorework #oilandgasindustry #petroleum #petroleumindustry #offshorecrew #offshore #upstream #professionals #maritime #petronas #naturalgas #flng #malaysia #gas #naturalgas #oilandgas #explosion #nordstream #allseas #engineer

Continuous Ship Unloader (CSU) can unload materials by inserting serially arranged buckets into the ship and scooping up the materials. This type of unloader has excellent transport efficiency and stability. Its high cargo handling efficiency contributes to improving ship turnaround time and reducing shipping charges.The CSU’s are designed to unload ships ranging from 35,000 to 150,000 DWT at the design unloading rate of 1,500 t/h. _________________________________ Credits @boat_aesthetics _________________________________ #ShipSalvage #offshore #ship #maritime #marine #instaship #seaman #anchor #lifeatsea #likes #likesforlikes #shiplife #shipping #shipspotting #maritime #failarmy #merchantmarine #merchantnavy #deckcadet #shipspotter #shipstagram #shiplovers #tugboat #lifeonship #tankership #lifeonboard #cargoship #marineengineer #maritimeaccident #drycargo #bulkcarrier

Voltaire is built to transport, lift and install offshore wind turbines, transition pieces and foundations. The main crane with a capacity of over 3,000 tonnes will enable her to construct the current and future generation of wind farms at sea. The Voltaire is a jack-up vessel fitted with a high-tech jacking system. Four giant legs of 130 metres support the vessel to achieve stable working conditions at unsurpassed water depths up to 80 meters and with an elevated load of 16,000 tonnes. ________________________________________ Credits @__tuglife__ ________________________________________ #Maersk #MaerskIntrepid #offshore #jackup #jackuprig #oilfield #oilandgas #oiltanker #engineeringstudent #engineeringlife #engineofficer #offshorelife #offshorewind #seafarerslife #seamanlife #cadet ##offshorefishing #offshoredrilling #engineeringproblems

Oops, that should have said, power ‘gives way’. By the way, no vessel has right of way, they are called the ‘stand on’ vessel. Common misconception that power always gives way to sail and whilst this is the case in international waters many coastal areas have laws overriding this rule for situations like this! 🎥 via @merchantnavy__24

Currently, the crew of @theoceancleanup is preparing to sail to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch with System 002/A for the first time. We will transition from System 002 to System 03 in stages, starting with a new retention zone on System 002/A. ________________________ Credits @theoceancleanup ________________________ #getmanupco #manup #offshore #semisub #oilrig #oilriglife #oilrigs #oilrigjobs #offshorejobs #vessels #drillingrig #oilandgasjobs #oilandgasprofessionals #professionals #oil #gas #energy #drilling #oilfield #oilproduction #oilandgasindustry #offshoredrilling #offshorelife #oilworker #production #decommissioning #boat_aesthetics #norway
