Spanish Battleship España (1913)
''Alfonso XIII'' was the second of three dreadnought battleships built in the 1910s for the Spanish Navy. Named after King Alfonso XIII of Spain, the ship was not completed until 1915 owing to a shortage of materials that resulted from the start of World War I the previous year. The ''España'' class was ordered as part of a naval construction program to rebuild the fleet after the losses of the Spanish–American War; the program began in the context of closer Spanish relations with Britain and France. The ships were armed with a main battery of eight guns and were intended to support the French Navy in the event of a major European war. Despite the reason for the ships' construction, Spain remained neutral during World War I. ''Alfonso XIII''s early career passed largely uneventfully with routine training exercises in Spanish waters, though she was used to assist civilian vessels in distress and her crew was deployed to suppress civil unrest in Spain. In the 1920s, she too ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Salvage Ship
A salvage tug, known also historically as a wrecking tug, is a specialized type of tugboat that is used to rescue ships that are in distress or in danger of sinking, or to salvage ships that have already sunk or run aground. Overview Few tugboats have ever been truly fully dedicated to salvage work; most of the time, salvage tugs operate towing barges, platforms, ships, or performing other utility tugboat work. Tugs fitted out for salvage are found in small quantities around the globe, with higher concentrations near areas with both heavy shipping traffic and hazardous weather conditions. Salvage tugs are used by specialized crew experienced in salvage operations ( salvors). Their particular equipment includes: * extensive towing provisions and extra tow lines/cables, with provisions for towing from both bow and stern and at irregular angles * extra cranes * firefighting gear ** deluge systems ** hoses ** nozzles * mechanical equipment such as: ** common mechanical repair part ...
