That's cool, thanks! What is the pool of water in the final one?
- DIVx0 6y agoLooks like a swimming pool, I assume crew and guests use it for exercise and recreation.
- nix23 6y agoEven the Typhoon-Class Sub's had one, and a Sauna ;)
- earthscienceman 6y agoYep, it's a pool that was filled with saltwater pulled in from Arctic ocean. There was also a sauna! The pool was even full while the ship was breaking ice... check it out: https://youtu.be/tE4l5-flcnk https://youtu.be/tE4l5-flcnk
- madengr 6y agoCool. Was the ship rocking, and the pool water stationary? Or Vice versa?
- snazz 6y agoLooks to me like the pool is stationary relative to the ship, so I would think that the pool water would slosh around. I'm not sure, though. Modern cruise ships have much fancier systems for that sort of thing.
- trhway 6y agothis pool is there by design. On some mid-size and large USSR/Russian military ships which don't have a pool by design, you can find what your local building department would call "unpermitted remodeling" - as you can't really make a hole in a ship's deck floor (i mean theoretically you can, yet it would be a can of worms of totally different scale), the crew would build the pool up so there is only hardly a couple feet between the ceiling and the water and you get into it by climbing up the ladder.
