Some new fitness plans promise weight-loss miracles with strength training â but say aerobic exercise isn't worth the energy.
In 1959 the 114,356 dwt âUniverse Apolloâ became the first tanker to pass the 100,000-ton figure: within a decade ships five times that size were being planned. The biggest oil tankers were built in the 1970s after the 1973 oil crisis. Thus a new generation of tanker was born, the VLCCs (Very Large Crude Carriers) and the ULCCs (Ultra Large Crude Carriers). The biggest oil tanker and biggest ship ever constructed â âSeawise Giantâ was built in 1979.
Yeah, that's a Volkswagen Tiguan. This modified 747 is the largest tanker in the world, though only one remains and it's being used by the Iranian Air Force. The KC-747 made a great tanker, but the venerable KC-10 was cheaper. Suggested By: Nick drives Stick (not Stig), Photo Credit: Boeing via Foxtrot Alpha.
