TCHETYRNADTSATAIA GODOVSTCHINA OKTIABRSKOI REVOLIOUTSII - in English it'll be:

The 14th Anniversary of October Revolution

PYATIDYESYATILYETIYE SOVIETSKOY GRUZII

50 Years of Soviet Georgia

So it's just the long words in Russian language...

saltydog · « **Reply #57 on:** February 04, 2010, 15:57:39 »

Then the 50 Let Pobedy is longer in English..

(50 Year Anniversary of Victory)

Earlier I thought it's usually Dutch ships that have long & hard-to-spell names if it's a one-word name.

Once in 2003 I saw in our port Wagenborg's Oosterscheldeborg... It'd be easy if it was Ooster Schelde Borg though.

Many years ago there was a Dutch passenger liner called "Johan van Oldenbarnevelt". That was quite a mouthful.
She was named after a Dutch statesman of the 1500/1600s who fought to free the Netherlands from Spanish rule.

My grandad used to deliver ship paints to ship yards ... he let me come with him some days.. the funniest one ive seen was Called don't panic ... it was funny because the name was on upside down so if the ship capsized it said dont panic;D

Salty, most large ship's engines are actually 2 stroke engines.
