I wonder how much oil the navy uses per year
Well since the US military uses more oil than any other organization in the world and ships aren’t exactly the most eco-friendly part of it, I’m guessing it’s somewhere between a shitload and infinite gallons.
At least the 11 largest ships and all the submarines are nuclear powered? But yeah, it’s a fuckload. Just don’t look too closely at how much gas jets dump before they land on a ship.
Largest ones don’t use it but every other part of it needs tons of oil products.
Plus all the ships needed to keep them supplied
A 2022 estimate I found said 19,000 barrels per day.
thats a lot lower than I thought it’d be
More than you and I
I agree, it’s more than likely more than the two of you
Possibly even more than three of you!
We all agree, let’s get wasted.
This bit seems like the more interesting bit:
Environmental scientists could also be given berths on board Britain’s warships to conduct research, the paper says.
“We are developing relationships with universities to offer enduring opportunities to use Royal Navy platforms for their research, such as this December’s deployment in HMS Protector with scientists from Portsmouth University onboard,” it reads.
If this “compulsory training” is anything like the dozens of required online training courses I’ve sat through, the sailors are just going to hit “play” on their laptop and then do something else while it plays. If it requires responses, they will just click as needed while doing something else. No one actually pays attention to these things.
Lmao that’s ridiculous
