	Cargo ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cargo ships are usually specially designed for the task, being equipped with cranes and other mechanisms to load and unload, and come in all sizes.
		Famous cargo ships would include the liberty ships of World War II, which were prefabricated all over the USA and then assembled by the coast in an average of 6 weeks and as little as 4 days.
		Cargo ships are categorized partly by their capacity and partly by their dimensions (often with reference to the various canals and canal locks through which they can travel).

	Ship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One can measure ships in terms of overall length, length of the waterline, beam (breadth), depth (distance between the crown of the weather deck and the top of the keelson), draft (distance between the highest waterline and the bottom of the ship) and tonnage.
		Before mechanisation, merchant ships always used sail, but as long as naval warfare depended on ships closing to ram or to fight hand-to-hand, galleys dominated in marine conflicts because of their maneuverability and speed.
		A few ships have used nuclear reactors, but this is not a separate form of propulsion; the reactor heats steam to drive the turbines.

	Cargo Ship
		The ship's design was also provided to most of the other factions through Morgan Industries and while only the drydocks belonging to the Nautilus Pirates and Morgan Industries are building the cargo ships, a number of the ships have been sold to any faction that wanted one.
		By the current day, the cargo ships have become the backbone of inter-faction trade on Chiron and while the Nautilus Pirates and Morgan Industries have the largest fleet of cargo ships on Chiron, most of the other factions have at least one ship flying under their own flag.
		While designed primarily for commercial cargo transportation, there is nothing that prevents these ships from carrying military equipment and in fact, the University of Planet used a fleet of these ships to transport and support their army during their war against the Cybernetic Consciousness.

	The Cargo Ship
		The front of the ship is the bows, the rear the stern.
		Ships today seem to carry most of their cargo in containers on deck, which must affect their stability; it would be nice to know how this is managed.
		A cargo ship generally proceeds at a constant full speed, about 80% of the full horsepower available, when at sea, and is most efficient at this speed.

	Sealift -- Cargo ship ‘sinks’ to load U.S. Army cargo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-07)
		The cargo deck of MV American Cormorant, a heavy-lift, float-on/float-off ship chartered by Military Sealift Command, sits submerged 15 feet below the waterline, waiting for the heavy U.S. Army cargo it was hired to move to be ‘floated’ on board.
		The ship’s guideposts are visible between the stern and forward sections of the ship.
		Another ship of this type, MV Blue Marlin, was chartered by MSC in late 2000 to return the damaged guided missile destroyer USS Cole to the United States for repairs after she suffered a terrorist attack in Yemen.

	Unveiled: The Clean Queen Of The Sea
		The wave energy is harnessed by 12 dolphin-like fins on the ship's hull, while sun and wind energy is collected by three giant, rigid, fin-like sails covered in solar panels.
		The ship is called the E/S Orcelle after the orcelle dolphin - the French word for the Irrawaddy dolphin, one of the world's most critically endangered species.
		Nils Dyvik, the company's chief executive, said that a ship with some of the Orcelle's "environmentally friendly characteristics" could be launched within five years, but said that the "complete version" might not be crossing the oceans until 2025.

	Viking Ships: The Knarr by Jim Cornish
		Typical of all Viking ships, the knarr had one mast with one square wool or linen sail.
		Crewmen were needed to steer the ship, furl and unfurl the sails, watch for shoals and row.
		Instead, the water collected in the bottom of the ship and had to be constantly bailed out to keep it from sinking.

	Cargo Ship Leaking Chemical Off S. Africa Also Carrying Uranium
		JOHANNESBURG -- A U.S.-flagged cargo ship blown aground off Cape Town this week is carrying 56 tons of unprocessed uranium bound for the United States and is leaking a flammable chemical, industry officials admitted Friday.
		Environmentalists said Friday that the stranded Sealand Express poses no great environmental risk at the moment, but they were concerned that the ship's cargo had not yet been fully disclosed and that a cold front expected to move in Saturday could bring new storms that might cause breaches in the vessel.
		At least two ships a year run aground in the area, they said, and cargo ships of much more highly radioactive waste--spent nuclear fuel traveling from Europe to Japan for disposal--regularly pass south of Cape Town.

		Although most cargo vessels are unarmed, the Cardassians chose to equip this ship with a single light disrupter cannon in order to defend against low intensity threats such as mercenaries and raiders.
		To date the most notable achievement of the cargo ship has been the capture of a Klingon bird of prey by the Groumall, under the command of Gul Dukat.
		The cargo ship is now out of production, and although many were destroyed during the war over two hundred remain in service and it is likely to be a common sight until well into the next century.

		Rescuers have pulled 12 people to safety after a cargo ship has capsized off the coast of Norway and are hoping to save 16 others who might be trapped inside the overturned hull.
		Fifteen to 20 ships had surrounded the vessel, and rescuers were trying to enlarge a hole cut in the hull, but progress was slowed by the need to ensure no one inside was hurt.
		A crane on the deck of the ship was catching on the ocean floor, hindering efforts to move the ship to shallow waters, he said.

	Air pollution from cargo ships stirs growing concern
		For every day it's in the harbor, the ship's smokestacks may be spewing as much nitrogen oxide into the city's air as 12,500 cars, as much as an oil refinery.
		Ships sailing into Los Angeles are asked to slow to about 14 mph within 20 miles of the city's harbor, a move that has cut nitrogen oxide pollution from ships there by 1 ton a day, said James Corbett a maritime professor at the University of Delaware.
		Hinchliffe said port-area emission figures are generally derived by applying air-emission factors to ship movements, by type of ship, a technique he said, that may not reflect a ship's movements in a harbor.
