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

MOSCOW, July 14 (RIA Novosti) - Russian Helicopters Company is to present its latest models of civilian and combat helicopters at the Farnborough International Airshow 2014 in Britain, the company’s spokesperson stated.
Together with Russian arms exporter Rosoboronexport, Russian Helicopters will present Ansat-U, a light helicopter designed for training military pilots. “This helicopter is equipped with a remote control system, which can be tuned to a specific type of helicopter and allows to model different in-flight situations,” a spokesperson said.
Russian Helicopters will also showcase the Ka-32A11BC medium multirole helicopter, which is used in carrying out special operations, brand new helicopter Mi-171A2 based on the Mi-8/17 series, as well as bestselling models Ka-52 Alligator, Mi-28NE Night Hunter and Mi-35M.
The weeklong event, which combines a well-respected trade exhibition for the aerospace and defense industries, with a spectacular airshow, runs until July 20. The exhibition is expected to attract more than 100,000 visitors and an even greater number of potential buyers.
Despite the fact that visas were denied to several members of the Russian delegation due to Moscow’s position on the crisis in Ukraine, several Russian companies – Rosoboronexport, Russian Helicopters and Irkut – plan to present the country’s most advanced military aircraft at the show.
Earlier on Monday, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin advised Russian delegation members to end their participation in the airshow to protest their colleagues’ visa denials.
