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

“Jurassic Park” film fans have a chance to own their very own dinosaur — sort of.
A velociraptor dinosaur crate from the 1993 blockbuster movie was recently put up for auction on eBay. Theme Park Connection, a company in Orlando, Fla., that resells movie props and Disney souvenirs, listed the unique prop on the auction website last week.
The winning bidder in Theme Park Connection’s eBay auction will get not only the dinosaur crate from ‘Jurassic Park,’ but also a replica raptor, as shown.

The winning bidder will not only receive the crate, but will also score his or her very own velociraptor — replica, that is. Brian Ramsey, Theme Park’s manager, told the Orlando Sentinel that the fake raptor had been produced for the film’s premiere.

Luckily, the dinosaur that comes with the ‘Jurassic Park’ velociraptor crate is much more benign that the Tyrannosaurus rex in this scene from the 1993 film.

The 8-foot tall prop was featured in the opening scene of “Jurassic Park,” in which employees of the dinosaur park attempt to transport a raptor from the crate and into a pen, with disastrous results.
