This video has been around for 12 years and I am simply amazed that it continue to attract so many comments.

That is when I came across this monster in Gulf of Mexico in the 90s. My ship was a 100,000 ton tanker and next to her, felt like sitting in a lifeboat. We get amazed by human achievements, the Apollo, ISS, bullet trains, fastest jets and the list goes on, but for seafarers, a profession that gets attention all for the wrong reasons, she is indeed our proudest because she sits up there among the greatest ever.

Her rudder weighed 209 tonnes and her propeller was 35ft across with a weight of 57 tonnes. It's roughly 1.8x the size of Titanic.

[@carolturner6189]

To say that it was 1.8 times the size of the Titanic is misleading. Today the Titanic is a small ship. It was actually far, far bigger than the Titanic. It was 1.8 times longer but the Titanic’s beam was a mere 92 ft. compared to 225 ft. for the Knock Nevis, displacement of 51,000 compared to 82,000, draft of 35 ft. compared to 80 ft. 46,000 Gross Register Tonnage compared to 261,000 Gross Tonnage.

She also holds the title for the largest ship sunk ever - having been sunk at her moorings by the Iraqi Air Force while loading oil in Iran during the Iran-Iraq war. She was later raised and repaired.

[@Christoff1996]

VersusARCH she was indeed hit by the Iraqi Air Force in February 1988 just before the end of the Iran-Iraq war when she was attacked by a group of Mirage F.1EQ-5s armed with Exocet anti-ship missiles whilst at Kharg Island. This ship’s sinking was the worst loss for Iran, affecting its oil exports for some time but unfortunately Iran’s operational fleet of Grumman F-14A Tomcats was very small (some 20 fully operational aircraft) and these had to be spread thinly across Iran’s vast landscape to protect important areas so they had a difficult task defending its vital oil facilities at Kharg, hence why Iraqi F.1s managed to slip past the island’s defences and sink this ship.

[@esbenjakobsen4575]

Wether it's nuclear power or not doesn't affect the speed. Nuclear powered just means you don't need to refuel doesn't mean you necessarily get more power. Nuclear power ships in my opinions are absolutely a waste of money. It doesn't reduc how often the ship has to go into port because the crew needs to eat and the money saved on refuelling over multiple years is still vastly overshadowed by the expense of building a nuclear powered ship in the first place

Woooweee!! A whopping 18-19mph!! Hold on to your britches boys!

[@stevohein2515]

Speed may be weak but of course the engine power would be phenomenal.

[@christianhovestadt1894]

ITsIMP0RT4NT then comes the largest containership in the world doing 55kmh or 34,4 miles an hour or 29,7 knots. thats fat for a ship that size.

[@shobharasquinha2464]

Bernie Sanders Take that engine a put it in a veyron

[@stopwatchinganime9859]

Patrick Walston I wanna see u try to slow it down even 1 mph.

[@77Original]

Not bad for something that weighs half a million tons :O

[@pabensenpte.ltd.7580]

As a Diver I assisted to help it float again when it was sunken. A Dutch company (Wijsmuller Salvage) had the contract.

[@ZC.Andrew]

I find it astounding that it is even possible to retrieve a ship of this size from the ocean bed. How did you do this?!?!

[@wezmarauder2754]

They should have had a large sign at the stern of the ship reading "We brake for nobody". (For those who have seen the opening shot of "Spaceballs" this reference is obvious)

[@snaprollinpitts]

I was hoping that the Stig would be at the wheel! that would be funny.

[@otaimaksimaify]

snaprollinpitts Stig is not born yet at this time

[@samuelumtiti7328]

Some say he ran off with Jack Sparrow hat once. And rumors have it that he threw Jonah off the boat in the Old Testament. All we know is he’s not the stig, he’s the stig’s pirate brother.

[@TrugginsOFFICIAL]

Jokes aside, I cannot believe how gargantuan this ship is. It almost seems impossible. Especially with how low it sits in the water under load. Even more insane that it was literally sitting at the bottom of the ocean before this video when it was sunk and it was somehow brought back to life. Again, unfrigginbelievable. More should have been saved of this ship.

Jeremy Clarkson knows how to make fantastic videos

+bread_n_butter the BBC doesn't agree xD

[@blasphemytard]

Yes they did, they didn't agree with the jew bashing however (which normal ppl don't care about).

[@antirussia8194]

I hope you wanted to write "jaw" :) Clarkson sometimes acts like a spoiled, irresponsible kid but I think he has never bashed any Jew... Or maybe I missed some of his shenanigans?

If you can drive in Indian you can anywhere, rash drivers, potholes and the worst pedestrians who think the road is made for them to walk on.

[@blasphemytard]

The road is made for walking, you ignorant vehicle born fool. What do you think the first roads were for?

[@otherssingpuree1779]

Pedestrians crossing roads without looking. Walking side by side till they cover an entire lane. Walking in the middle. Those first roads were built for horse drawn carriages and other wheeled 'vehicles'. Those narrow pieces of visible ground between wilderness was formed by walking. 4 lane roads in the middle of town is not for walking, the side walks along them are.

[@shAdOwstAlkEr945]

Wow. India sounds exactly like Philippines, only I'm pretty sure PH is much worse

[@gracecalis5421]

FPSPhilippines You take a wartorn battlefield full of craters and pit two armies against each other, they fire and you try to go through the crossfire. That's basically traffic in the PH.
