Bismarck in port in Hamburg
Bismarck was the first of two Bismarck-class battleships built for the German Kriegsmarine during World War II. Named after Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, the primary force behind the German unification in 1871, the ship was laid down at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg in July 1936 and launched nearly three years later in April 1939. Work was completed in August 1940, when she was commissioned into the German fleet. Along with her sister ship Tirpitz, Bismarck was the largest battleship ever built by Germany, and the heaviest built by any European power. Bismarck conducted only one offensive operation, codenamed Rheinübung, in May 1941. The ship, along with the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, was to break out into the Atlantic Ocean and raid Allied shipping from North America to Great Britain. The two ships were detected several times off Scandinavia, however, and British naval units were deployed to block their route. At the Battle of Denmark Strait, Bismarck engaged and destroyed the battlecruiser HMS Hood, the pride of the Royal Navy, and forced the battleship HMS Prince of Wales to retreat with heavy damage, although Bismarck herself had been hit three times and suffered an oil leak from a ruptured tank. The destruction of Hood spurred a relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy with dozens of warships involved. Two days later, while steaming for the relative safety of occupied France, Bismarck was attacked by Fairey Swordfish torpedo bombers from the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal; one hit was scored that jammed the battleship's steering gear and rendered her unmanoeuvrable. The following morning, Bismarck was destroyed by a pair of British battleships. The cause of her sinking is disputed: some in the Royal Navy claim that torpedoes fired by the cruiser HMS Dorsetshire administered the fatal blow, while German survivors argue that they scuttled the ship. In June 1989, Robert Ballard discovered the location of Bismarck's wreck. Several other expeditions have surveyed the sunken battleship in an effort to document more completely the condition of the ship and to determine the cause of the ship's loss. - Wikipedia

Bismak em 1940.
O Bismarck foi um couraçado alemão da classe Bismarck construído e operado durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Batizado com este nome em homenagem a Otto von Bismarck, tornou-se famoso por ser o responsável pelo afundamento do cruzador-de-batalha e orgulho da Marinha Real Britânica, o HMS Hood, durante a batalha do Estreito da Dinamarca, em 1941, e pela subsequente perseguição que culminou na sua destruição, apenas três dias depois. Isso só foi possível após ter sido torpedeado no leme por aviões Fairey Swordfish lançados do porta-aviões Ark Royal, sendo este o primeiro ataque realizado por aviões lançados a partir de um navio. Apenas com o leme avariado, pôde ser alcançado pela esquadra inglesa e afundado após um terrível bombardeamento, tendo perdido mais de 2.000 homens. Em tal batalha, os ingleses alegam ter liquidado o navio alemão com seus torpedos, mas tal fato não é verídico, posto que expedições sub-aquáticas confirmaram que o casco interno está intacto. A verdadeira causa do afundamento foi a abertura das comportas para inundar o navio pela sua tripulação, pois assim, vendo os britânicos se aproximarem cada vez mais, com o navio indefeso após quase duas horas de batalha desigual, impediriam uma tentativa inglesa de tomar a belonave germânica. O couraçado alemão somente foi afundado devido ao grande número de aviões e navios que o cercaram. Além disso, com o leme avariado devido ao ataque de aeronaves Swordfish, o Bismarck só conseguia navegar em círculos, sendo impossível escapar do cerco britânico, que atacou sem piedade o navio e sua tripulação. - Wikipedia

PhotobucketThe Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a twin-engine carrier-based multirole fighter aircraft. The F/A-18E single-seat variant and F/A-18F tandem-seat variant are larger and more advanced derivatives of the F/A-18C and D Hornet. The Super Hornet has an internal 20 mm gun and can carry air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface weapons. Additional fuel can be carried with up to five external fuel tanks and the aircraft can be configured as an airborne tanker by adding an external air refueling system. - Wikipedia



PhotobucketO Boeing F/A-18EF Super Hornet é uma aeronave supersônica de interceptação aérea e de ataque ao solo. O F/A-18E e F/A-18F são maiores e mais avançados que seu antecessor o F/A-18 Hornet. O Super Hornet entrou em serviço nos Estados Unidos em 1999, substituíram os F-14 Tomcat em 2006 e deverão servir em conjunto com os originais Hornets F/A-18C (se mantêm operacionais mas com uma substituição gradativa pelos Super Hornets). Em 2007, a Real Força Aérea Australiana comprou 24 Super Hornets para substituição dos antigos F-111. - Wikipedia

The McLaren F1 GTR '95 of West Racing at Circuit Paul Ricard.


The McLaren F1 GTR was a racing variant of the McLaren F1 sports car first produced in 1995 for grand touring style racing, such as the BPR Global GT Series, FIA GT Championship, JGTC, and British GT Championship. It is most famous for its overall victory at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans where it beat out faster purpose-built prototypes. McLaren F1 GTRs raced internationally until 2005 when the final race chassis was retired. - Wikipedia



PhotobucketO McLaren F1 é um carro super desportivo, construído de 1991 até 1998. Por duas vezes bateu o recorde de veículo de rua mais rápido do mundo: de 1994 a 1998, com 374 km/h; e de 1998 a 2005, com 386,5km/h. Tal recorde foi possível graças à sua aerodinâmica revolucionária, a sua leveza (o seu chassis é de fibra de carbono, material de alta resistência e leveza e seu motor é feito em alumínio. Tais fatores, contribuem para que o carro pese "apenas" pouco mais que uma tonelada.) e ao seu motor incrivelmente bem ajustado. Também há um registo documentado em vídeo, do carro alcançando a absurda velocidade de 391 km/h, tendo como velocidade máxima no velocímetro, 400 km/h. - Wikipedia
