"Warship" is everyting with a gun built for war and "Battleship" is, well, just look up "Yamato class" or "Iowa class" also only 10 Nimitz class aircraft carriers were built and are still in active service and the Gerald R.

It's been noted that some countries are better at long-term planning than others. Norway actually has a Sovereign Wealth Fund, worth over USD 2 trillion, which is where the government is actively investing money, globally, rather than running a deficit and owing money. The taxes are high in Norway but higher education is paid for by taxes, all the way to PhD-level (assuming you can pass the tests and show that you have the proficiency to go that far) and medical treatment is paid for by taxes. The two biggest things which hold other countries down are: * the inability of talented-but-poor people to get the education which might enable to them to make a big contributions * medical care costs shortening lives and putting people into bankruptcy Norway has beaten both of these things. They are VERY good at long-term, strategic thinking and planning.

‘POOSH!’

[@simonolthenorwegian]

It was kinda surreal for me when you mentioned the Kollsnes refinery. It's like 10 km away from where I live and I can see the torch from my living room.

Why is everything “insane”? Are hyperbolic superlatives too challenging to Google?

[@BonaparteBardithion]

This one buzzword will SHOCK you!

I always forget that the Statue of Liberty was made and transported from somewhere in Europe which was told to me in 2nd grade

I guess that Troll-A offshore oil rig was influenced by the same construction method used in Beryl-Alpha offshore oil rig (I think it was laid down in the 70's), although the height of B-Alpha was around 128 m and that's just the legs & foundation. Troll-A was like the mega version of B-Alpha.

[@NoMoYOUsernames]

According to Wikipedia Beryl-Alpha was indeed the first Condeep oil rig that was built, back in 1975 - and Troll A was the last one (so far) in 1995. A total of 14 were built and I believe all of them are still in operation today. The name Condeep is referring to «concrete deep water structure». The concept was invented by the civil engineer Olav Mo. His company «Offshore Concrete» patented the concept in 1972 and then the company «Norwegian Contractors» further developed the concept from 1973. Due to being cheaper, floating rigs and underwater installations have been preferred since.

84 seconds 80km?? damn that pressure must be insane

[@PamdaDev]

Maybe a mistake? 80 km (0:55) or 200km (1:41) from the coast? Maybe 200km from construction site? And thanks for the video

[@NorwegianCrazyGuy]

200 km from construction site, 80 km from shore. At clear days you can see mountain ranges on shore

imagine forgetting something when you get in that elevator.

[@nauticalresearchdevelopmen8841]

When he said “longer than this entire KZbin video”, i just went to check and he’s right, the elevator takes a minute longer When the workers are coming down, i bet you they will watch this video

[@Victoria_Orlova]

Damn, 80km, that's like 1720 large-sized parking spots

5000 years from now: Aliens helped them

[@Swuiddy0086]

2000 years after that: humans helped the aliens

[@GTM754]

Love your channel bro i’ve learned a lot more watching your videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@markcarey8426]

Would be nice to see more live action than this graphic.

[@XBlueBeam]

Then go watch a channel that isnt dedicated towards animation.

[@demven04]

Impossible to imagine the scale of this project. Unbelievable, crazy, and mind-blowing

[@zinedinezethro9157]

BUT IT'S 200KM SIR! Some random norwegian: DID I STUTTER?

[@adrianlba3233]
