INTRODUCTION

On 16 October 2023, Me and my classmate are going to

Maritime Center learning about ships that are exist on
this world. There 4 types of ship that I will talk about in
this assignment which is Warship, Cargo Ship, Sailboat
and Submarine. So, what are these type of ships?

- WARSHIP
A warship is Naval Ship that is built and primarily
intended for naval Warfare. Warships are designed
to withstand damage and are typically faster and
more maneuverable than merchant ships.Warships
typically carries only weapons, ammunition and
supplies for its crew.

- SUBMARINE
A submarine is a watercraft capable of independent
operation underwater. It differs from a submersible,
which has more limited underwater capability.
Most submarines use torpedo as their weapon.

- SAILBOAT
A Sailboat is a boat propelled partly or entirely by
sails and is smaller than a sailing ship.
 - CARGO SHIP
A cargo ship is a merchant ship that carries cargo,
goods, and materials from one port to another.
Cargo ships are usually specially designed for the
task, often being equipped with cranes and other
mechanisms to load and unload, and come in all
sizes. Today, they are almost always built of
welded steel, and with some exceptions generally
have a life expentacy of 25 to 30 years before being
scrapped.
 KD LEKIU

This is KD Lekiu and is an example of warship. KD

Lekiu is RMN (Royal Malaysian Navy) Frigate Class
warship. The ships were built Yarrow Shipbuilder of
Glasgow and launched in December 1994 and

 MV BARZAN

Company (UASC). Her Length are 400 m (1,300
ft) and her Beam are 58.6 m (192 ft) and her
Draught 16 m (52 ft). She is an ultra-large
container ship. It was the first of a series of six
18800 TEU container ships built in South Korea for
UASC. She is operated by a multinational crew.
 MENDAM BERAHI

Mendam Berahi is Ghali ship type. It was a

legendary royal galley have been used by Malacca
Sultanate in the early 16th century. This ship is
fictional, recorded by epic Hikayat Hang Tuah and
did not exist until after the 1530s. Her Length are

a warship in 1530s command by Laksamana Hang

There are also a radar below the ship at the behind

GLOSSARY

1. Bridge – is a pilothouse and wheelhouse where

the ship control are be command.
2. Anchor – to stop the ship motion and ship will be
stationary. The ship motion will move like circle
round motion where the anchor is the center.
3. Propeller – It is like fan and using engine to be
functional. It can increasing the ship speed and
moving the ship.
4. Radar – Can detecting surroundings using radio
wave.
 CONCLUSION

While carrying out this assignment, I have

gained a lot of knowledge about the ship,
especially the KD Lekiu ship, where I
have met one of the retired RMN officers
who had served on that ship. I asked him
about his experience and the functions of
each part of the KD Lekiu ship. Likewise
with KD Tunku Abdul Rahman and KLD
Tunas Samudera submarines. After hearing
his experience as an officer on the ship
caused me to be amazed by the strength on
the ship. Most of the ship that I explain in
assignment are using radar to change their
intended direction and carries many things
like supplies, food, goodies and medicine.
