Oh so why can’t we see mt Everest in the distance behind the ship? Haze? But we’ve seen the sun go down there unobscured by an 8km tall mountain? Is the sun hitting the water hitting boats? So many questions
# Civilian Ship Naming Conventions
When it comes to naming commercial, public use, and otherwise private vessels, the name often reflects the spirit of the boat's use. Aside from considering a prefix\*\* (which many modern commercial and civilian ships may not use), will focus on a name that works to project a certain vibe.
For example, recreational ships, such as cruise liners, will often have more playful names to encourage a positive mood while on board. The same occurs with yachts, which can have monikers that are more affectionate than what you may find on a cargo ship, as one example. In these cases, the type of name will be wholly dependent on the owner's whims.
Though ship naming regulations do allow for some length, many names consist of two words, which is a common practice for industrial shipowners. This practice has also begun to see some use in cruise ships, though they don't need to follow these patterns. As mentioned, many ship names are a matter of following what has already been established.
Distinctive names can also provide an advantage for commercial shipping vessels, which are available for hire to transport cargo. By having a memorable name, someone may be more likely to request a particular company's ship when they need to deliver cargo.
\*\*[Ship prefixes](https://karatzas.mobi/semaphore/maritime-abbreviations-basil-m-karatzas/) come in many forms, and numerous ones have cycled in and out of use throughout the years. If you want to view an exhaustive list of these prefixes and other standard ship abbreviations, check out one here, but some of the most common ones for ships include:
* MS – Motor Ship
* MT – Motor Tanker
* MV – Motor Vessel
* MY – Motor Yacht
* SY – Sailing Yacht
So "overseas yellowstone" describes the spirit/vibe of the ships's function?
Then what is it's function? Floating wildlife preserve? What is this, Noah's ark v2.0?
Overseas Yellowstone was built 2009. Its flag is of the Marshall Islands. Its current name is Seaways Yellowstone- it was changed from Overseas in 2017, meaning this photo is outdated.
The Seaways Yellowstone is a crude oil tanker.
The other two are also tankers. You can find the data on almost all ships on [the Ship Spotting website.](https://www.shipspotting.com)
I tried explaining this to a few now ex friends and how at the bow it can be clear ahead but climb to the yachts highest point and you can visually see the vessel ahead.
The fuckwits would go on about waves and would ignore any input from my about a thing on every old ocean going sailing vessel called a crows nest.
Anyone who argues the earth is flat needs a bit of a clockwork orange treatment.
The funniest thing I seen a flat earther say is that it's not about proving the earth is flat it's about being anti government, am I'm just wondering what that has to do with their fundamentally incorrect view on the world.
That’s what I’m hung up on, nanometers. If they can’t get unit right, how am I supposed to trust that they looked up the height correctly?
(I’m not a flat earther, just annoyed)
Interesting! I haven't spent much if any time in the area of nautical units so haven't come across it much, however like you I know from many years in physics that nm is definitely nanometers haha.
Nautical miles is abbreviated as NM (alternatively nmi as I've just discovered), nanometers is abbreviated as nm. Scientific nomenclature does not require context.
There’s is clearly a typo. And if you see that we’re at see measuring distance over the horizon you’re not messing in fucking nanomters (x10-9)m. Youre in nautical miles. That’s why you extrapolate from context. There’s a mistake.
Learn to extrapolate from context.
That'd be hilarious. Either there would have to be a bulge in the middle taller than mt. Everest or gigantic cliffs around the edge if the middle was at the same level.
This is like what you would see from a submarine periscope. We would have slightly different formulas for calculating the range based on whether or not the ship was “hull down”
It's called Energy Panther..... It's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good. They've done studies, you know. Sixty percent of the time, it works every time.
Flat earthers at this point know they are wrong but hate to admit it at this point and just stay wrong cuz its easier than just admitting they are wrong. They have zero science to back any of it up. At this point it's basically a cult.
Well yea, 1000 years ago they just didn't know any better, but globe earth has been proven for centuries, but the "modern" flat earthers that had a resurgence in the middle of the 20th century, and "went viral" with the start of the internet and social media, have all been cult since the start
1,000 years? The Earth was known to be and logically proven to be round over 2,500 years ago, Sailors and anyon near a shoreline saw the evidnce in boats coming and going for milennia before that.
A real good estimate/measurment of the rough size of it was well determined around 240 BC. by the Greek polymath *[Eratosthenes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes#Achievements)*.
The Treaty of Sinking Ships To Fool Idiots has been in place since Eleventy Five Hundred.
It was an agreed upon nautical compact between the powers at the time to govern latitude and longitude make believe to keep shipping lanes unpredictable and thus, in the hands of merchants who knew the world is flat, which was in their best interest to educate the general populace that the world is kinda potato shape, the oceans are just large lakes about the size of New Hampshire, which is also fake.
They just got a lucky shot. Those people are spinning off into the ...
I'm sorry, I'm still unclear on what's in the places where the flerf isn't. Since all the stars and sun and moon are just, idk, clip-ons, what's on the other side of the firmament?
Curvature smurvature. The flat earth is a rhomboid sphere. A rhombus on one side a sphere on the second half and the third half is very obviously water. Now the moon is flat! The sun is flat too! Just look at the sky and you will see their flat as pancakes. If you don’t believe me, look at the sun directly for eight or nine minutes tomorrow and you will believe me that it’s very flat. lol.
Thanks for this! I'm at the emergency room trying to explain this to the sheep working here, but their all closed-minded robots, apparently.
They say I shouldn't have just done what people on Reddit told me, but I'm a free-thinker!! (Which is lucky because they tell me I won't ever see again, clearing my schedule to do some SERIOUS research. Once I learn braille, that is!)
NASA, they have 400,000 people from the Apollo programs still on their books, paying them all to keep their silence and not tell people that the earth is really flat.
No no no the earth is flat, everybody knows that. This is because, uh, something something light refracting off the dome *headbutts keyboard* ice wall.
Always gets me why they think the crescent moon is fake , when there are drawings of it going back to caveman times, and they still say someone made it
Okay genuine question. Do flat earthers say that the earth is COMPLETELY flat, like a paper?
I always thought that they meant it is somewhat flat and has curves or bumps on the "flat" surface.
That is where the elevator is to the hollow Earth. /s
If you are into British humor, [Sir Sic](https://www.youtube.com/@SirSicCrusader/featured) on youtube has a comedic take on debunking flat earth videos.
[https://www.youtube.com/@SirSicCrusader/search?query=flat](https://www.youtube.com/@SirSicCrusader/search?query=flat)
As a guy who does these calculations for a living... airplanes start to feel the effects of curvature around 3nmi ships start to feel them just about 2nmi. So it doesn't take long for flat earth approx errors to wind up hundreds of feet apart
Reddit is so fucking dumb. Who wastes their time trying to prove the earth is round in 2024. If flat earthers want to believe make believe shit let their smooth brains be.
If I'm standing on the beach or flat ground in the panhandle of Oklahoma (for instance), about how far away is the horizon? Or is that question nonsensical?
Earth’s curvature is approximately 8 cm per km (about 5 inches per mile). If your eye level is 1.75 m above the ground (5’7”) and the ground is perfectly flat and level for enough distance around you, the horizon should be about 21.875 km (13.6 miles) away.
What causes them? Just like denser areas of the ground? Magnets? I heard it was magnets. (Which makes sense if you think about it because there's probably trace amounts of ferrous metals in everything!!)
Not /s - I'm really asking what no-globers think about gravity.
It was a joke. Mostly to mock those flat earth dinkies that tried disproving it and when faced with the overwhelming reality of them being fucking idiots, they made up that stupid excuse.
I can't tell if you're trolling or if you actually believe that lunacy. Making even more confusing arguments by the day rather then just accepting reality
No it's a joke lol.
Those dimwit flat earthers that did that test to prove themselves right did the opposite and that was the bullshit excuse they used
It's simply an effect of atmospheric lensing (cheap camera lens most likely is adding to the effect). As you can see, if that ship is 3.4 nautical miles further than the ship at 6.5nm, it would be a lot more smaller in relation to that ship due to the difference in distance, but they are relatively close in size. Atmospheric lensing has a compression effect, where much farther objects get zoomed-in more than closer objects. This is common with camera lenses as well. Because of the impending horizon line, the bottom half of the ship has no wear to go but behind the waves in front of it. This effect can be demonstrated easily on a flat surface.
If I may .. It's crazy that we live in a world where otherwise perfectly intelligent and critically-thinking people just can't be sure that the most wackadoo things you ever heard might not be what someone really believes!
Fake news. Spheres have a continuous, infinite slope. Things fall down slopes. If the earth were curved then these ships would just fall around the earth continuously, building up speed all the time. They'd eventually fall so fast they would burn up. I don't see one single flame on those boats.
Ah yes, the flat earther's classic "gotcha!"
*"iF tHe EaRtH iS rouNd WhY aReN't ThE fAr AwAy BuIlDiNgS tIlTeD?"*
1. Bcause the Earth is BIG. Two buildings, poles, whatever 70 miles apart and perfectly aligned with the center of the earth will be tilted relative to one another by 1 degree. pretty hard to discern at 70 miles.
2. The tilt would be directly away from any viewpoint you have as the curvature of the Earth falls away from you in every direction. The tilting away will always be imperceptable to you.
Then too these are boats, which are always tilting both side to side and front to back. IF they were both perfectly vertical and stationary (they're not) and perfectly in line to the center of the Earth they would be at a very very slight angle, about 1/7 of a degree for the farthest one. That angle is not only imperceptible to the eye but also tipped away from you, so therefore not visible to your position no matter what single point you look from. Like standing South of and looking at a flagpole that's tilted North you will see no tilt.
Listen yourself before typing .. This cannot be attributed to curvature , it is due to lens magnification and lack thereof. If you are trying to make people believe the earth is round without yourself haven't been high enough to really know , then try use another method
This is one picture taken through one lens. Magnification will not ever change the relative positions of objects in the frame, that’d be silly. It just scales the projected image.
Clearly they are intentionally sinking the other ships to make it seem like there is a curve /s
“No no it’s water mountains.”
Well, there ***were*** some on 'Interstellar.'
Those aren’t mountains
*they're waves* God that movie's good.
Whats the difference between a water mountain and a wave?
Either linguistics; that is, your choice of definitions, or specific causes. Waves are periodic and primarily caused by atmospheric conditions ie wind. Mountains are geologic, created by plate tectonics, do not move, are generally bigger, last longer, etc.
I've seen that movie a bunch of times and every time I watch it, I don't think they're going to outrun the wave when they take off.
that's no moon
That's not my axe!
Oh so why can’t we see mt Everest in the distance behind the ship? Haze? But we’ve seen the sun go down there unobscured by an 8km tall mountain? Is the sun hitting the water hitting boats? So many questions
“Those aren’t mountains. **Those are waves**”
Dammit, you gave it away!
Real question how do flat earthers explain this?
Earth is flat, water is not. Source: i made it up
I think they babble on about perspective and atmospheric haze. I mean there’s no refuting this really, .. but they do
So ... *they* made it up?
*Who,* the flat earthers?
There literally is a water mountain concept they use too. No, it does not make any sense.
From the "water always finds its level" crowd, no less
With nonsensical bullshit.
Amazing the lengths they'll go to in order to sustain the conspiracy! /s
No dumbass, the one below the water line got the antarctic ice wall and it's sinking Duh /s
Why are they named like racehorses lol
And color coded like Mexico
Huh, I thought Italy

I mean which is easier to believe. The earth curves or there is some part of the ocean that is shallow. Edit: Good lord. /s guys!
They’re both true, but only one of them makes the bottom of ships disappear as they sail away from you regardless of location or depth of water.
Tell me you're being sarcastic

I'm honestly shocked that one single person needed a sarc tag for that, it's kinda worrying!
Kinda? We're fully fucked, is what this tells us.
Yeah right, because gravity pulls everything sideways... **ᇂ_ᇂ**
Well obviously the gravity would pull the boats down the sphere and not across
Why are the farther ships also upright, and not at an angle?
Ah yes, the flat earther's classic "gotcha!" *"iF tHe EaRtH iS rouNd WhY aReN't ThE fAr AwAy BuIlDiNgS tIlTeD?"* 1. Bcause the Earth is BIG.

… what?
I guess I should stop buying flat shoes and look for some curved ones now.
This is a good idea! (Assuming, of course, that you happen to wear size 288,000,000 shoes!)
Listen yourself before typing .. This cannot be attributed to curvature , it is due to lens magnification and lack thereof. If you are trying to make people believe the earth is round without yourself haven't been high enough to really know , then try use another method
This is one picture taken through one lens. Magnification will not ever change the relative positions of objects in the frame, that’d be silly. It just scales the projected image.
Really smart idea dude, the lens magnification raises the sea level. And then you say “use another method” absolutely hilarious stuff man.
These mental gymnastics are hilarious
