Waste of milion Dollars $ 😂😂😂
Situation is not good 😢
Cargo ship already over loaded 😂😂😂😂😅
💪🇺🇸💪
Would you like a bran new recycled car?
Just please make sure that there aren't any Lithium battery-powered electric vehicles on them
Oh never mind, those intellectual giants a the Pentagon has already decided to convert over to tens of thousands of Lithium battery vehicles.
So kiss the almighty US military goodbye, because as we just saw how just 1 electric car destroyed and sank an automobile carrier and took 4000 cars with it,
then imagine 3000 military LITHIUM vehicles on 1 ship. And the huge wear and tear and abuses that military vehicles need to endure in the harsh terrain of military combat!
Oh well, at least the purchases of these tens of thousands of lithium battery vehicles, are funding the retirements of some of the top brass..
❤america🎉❤ 10:04
Very complete equipment for combat…👌👍👍👍
all are nonse
This is the reason for insurance. This is not the first time, thousands of new vehicles have been destroyed by a ship sinking or capsizing.
Its called logistical support.
Yeah. Recycled as scrap metal.
Just think of the MASSIVE logistical problems they had in WWII fighting a war across half the globe!
Cool video! Thanks 👍! 😊😊😊
Remember though, it's your car that's destroying the environment.
is this the most valuable ship in the world
War is the number one BUSINESS of AMERICA
the mighty US-TRANSCOM !
How did we get from military logistics to civilian salvage operations?????
Why is military logistics linked with civilian/commercial salvage and freight shipping? This is very important. This illustrates why the US has such advanced and powerful military firepower. The US along with other industrialized countries have a vast trading system based on consumer goods. The average people benefit from a consumer oriented trading system because goods that make our lives better are continually being improved and invented. The large cargo ships that transport passenger cars are built because there is a market for transporting vehicles from car making countries to markets in other countries. As a result, these freight ships can be used by the US military when it needs to move large quantities of heavy military equipment. Without a free-market capitalistic trading system, heavy equipment freight ships would not exist. So the technological advancement driven by consumer markets can be used by the US military to build superior firepower. In fact, when the Russian super submarine Kursk sank in the Barents Sea, the Russian (former Soviet Union in name only) Navy did not have the ability to raise its own nuclear submarine. The Russian government (former Bolshevik in name only) had to hire a two free-market capitalist companies from Netherland and England to raise their submarine. The salvage equipment and divers who can operate in the cold, deep ocean of the arctic can only be found in free-market capitalistic countries where consumer-oriented international trade across the global oceans created a highly specialized profession. Many people complain that cars are destroying the environment. With affordable cars the average person can afford the modern conveniences we have today. Getting consumer goods to market like your supermarket makes life convenient for everyone. The Russian communists can build nuclear submarines carrying ballistic missiles. But the greedy capitalists created the deep ocean salvage specialists who recovered the Bolshevik coffin for 118 of their brave sailors.
A car transporter ship caught fire in Port Newark, NJ on 5 July 23. It unfortunately resulted in the deaths of two (2) City of Newark Firefighters. It burned for a good part of the rest of the month. News reports stated there were 5000 vehicles on board.
Please use correct terminology . A battleship is a class of ship large guns . Big displacement. The correct name is warship. Of various classes.
Robo ships?
Wow, they could have used this in Afghanastan instead of leaving 83 Billion worth of equipment with the enemy
mega
So thats why the insurance levies are going sky high.
USA fox's people's
Strip the U.S. of every piece of military equipment possible, so when the day comes and we get invaded, nothing we can do will be enough to protect ourselves.
軍用車両を海上輸送するなんて普通の事では？？
I would love to buy an expensive car and watch them use a Forklift to lift and push it in a bin
They are powerful I like it
Nga chỉ cần 1 qua tên lửa ( chìm)
Back in time I had several cars shipped from Wilmington NC to Bremerhafen Germany via RoRo vessel. Cost 700 usd per car.
The ARC and DFDS ships showed are Danish. Back in the time of the Gulf war, MAERSK a Danish shipping company offered to transport US military equipment at no cost from the US to the Gulf.
What is so crazy about this. Roll On Roll Off ( Roro) can move more equipment faster than traditional freighters. The military has contanerized cargo now, a big improvement since the First Gulf War ( 1990-91 ) The former SeaLand SL-7 freighters were fast, but after being in the Ready Reserve Fleet since the 70s, they had boiler problems and their unloading times were long. I was involved in the sealift to get all this stuff from here to there.
