All US aircraft carriers are nuclear powered so no more burning fossil fuels. Environment = Saved 🌱

[-] Car@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 7 months ago

I remember reading about nuclear powered shipping vessels being pitched a few years ago.

[-] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 57 points 7 months ago

Given the state of a lot of ships, I wouldn't want these companies using nuclear power

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 34 points 7 months ago

Yeah, a lot of people don't understand how little oversight there actually is when it comes to the maintenance of cargo ships, and how hard it is to enforce the bare minimum.

Most shipping companies are untrustworthy when it comes to anything that might impact their profit margins.

There’s a great YouTube channel that covers shipping disasters: Brick Immortar (https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=-BNDub3h2_I). Haven’t personally verified any of it though.

The problem is that most countries don’t have a port to accept a nuclear vessel and don’t want one in their country.

There’s certainly a cost of doing business. That’s theirs to make.

lol, there actually was a few, but that is back in ye old days. 1968 - Otto Hans. 1972 - Mutsu. 1988 - Sevmorput (only one still running - but planned decomission is apparently in 2024)

Well, they still have a ton of greased up machinery below deck and they still need to properly store and dispose of bilgewater, so not perfect by any measure, but still way better than any other type of shipping.

a ton of greased up machinery below deck

Title of your sex tape!

You must have me confused, I'm the star of Dick Pickens Does the Right Thing Rides the Bombshell to Hell.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
