The Hellenic Navy (HN) (Greek: Πολεμικό Ναυτικό, Polemikó Naftikó, abbreviated ΠΝ) is the naval force of Greece, part of the Greek Armed Forces. The modern Greek navy has its roots in the naval forces of various Aegean Islands, which fought in the Greek War of Independence. During the periods of monarchy (1833–1924 and 1936–1973) it was known as the Royal Navy (Βασιλικόν Ναυτικόν, Vasilikón Naftikón, abbreviated ΒΝ).The total displacement of all the navy's vessels is approximately 150,000 tons.The motto of the Hellenic Navy is "Μέγα το της Θαλάσσης Κράτος" from Thucydides' account of Pericles' oration on the eve of the Peloponnesian War. This has been roughly translated as "Great is the country that controls the sea". The Hellenic Navy's emblem consists of an anchor in front of a crossed Christian cross and trident, with the cross symbolizing Greek Orthodoxy, and the trident symbolizing Poseidon, the god of the sea in Greek mythology. Pericles' words are written across the top of the emblem. "The navy, as it represents a necessary weapon for Greece, should only be created for war and aim to victory."...............The Hellenic Merchant Marine refers to the Merchant Marine of Greece, engaged in commerce and transportation of goods and services universally. It consists of the merchant vessels owned by Greek civilians, flying either the Greek flag or a flag of convenience. Greece is a maritime nation by tradition, as shipping is arguably the oldest form of occupation of the Greeks and a key element of Greek economic activity since the ancient times. Nowadays, Greece has the largest merchant fleet in the world, which is the second largest contributor to the national economy after tourism and forms the backbone of world shipping. The Greek fleet flies a variety of flags, however some Greek shipowners gradually return to Greece following the changes to the legislative framework governing their operations and the improvement of infrastructure.Blogger Tips and Tricks

Hacker's acts ....[ 522 ]

Hacker illegally accesses JR East Web site and alters part of system

A hacker has illegally accessed the Web site of East Japan Railway Co. (JR East) and altered part of the program managing the system, company officials said Wednesday.

Thousands of people who used its search function after the incident may have got their computers infected with a virus. The Tokyo-based railway operator has closed affected pages of its Web site to investigate the details of the problem.

A person who used the site's search function informed the company Monday evening that there was something wrong with the system, prompting the company to examine it.

The company subsequently confirmed that someone had illegally accessed its Web site from overseas on several occasions at around 1:10 a.m. on Sunday, and had altered the program controlling its search function.

Company officials said it has closed some affected pages on the site, including the company profile and information on its carriages and locomotives, while customers can still reserve train seats, buy tickets and confirm whether trains are operating on time on its Web site.
