    the last Battleships built by the U.S Navy was the Iowa class battleships which were built in the 40's and had a surprisingly very long career, the last being retired at least a decade ago. "Battleship" and "Warship" are not interchangeable terms. "Warship" is everyting with a gun built for war and "Battleship" is, well, just look up "Yamato class" or "Iowa class" also only 10 Nimitz class aircraft carriers were built and are still in active service and the Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carriers will continue to join the fleet in the next decade or two

    It's been noted that some countries are better at long-term planning than others. Norway actually has a Sovereign Wealth Fund, worth over USD 2 trillion, which is where the government is actively investing money, globally, rather than running a deficit and owing money. The taxes are high in Norway but higher education is paid for by taxes, all the way to PhD-level (assuming you can pass the tests and show that you have the proficiency to go that far) and medical treatment is paid for by taxes. The two biggest things which hold other countries down are: * the inability of talented-but-poor people to get the education which might enable to them to make a big contributions * medical care costs shortening lives and putting people into bankruptcy Norway has beaten both of these things. They are VERY good at long-term, strategic thinking and planning.

    My dad actually worked on it while it was being towed. He said it was the craziest thing he had ever seen. He was there as a welder working for a ship repair company from Port Arthur, TX. Had to be flowed in to mainland and they were on stand-by following the rig till they got there then they finished up a few things need to get done to be operational. He was gone for a couple months because it was a long trip getting that thing over there and they couldn't travel fast.

    Have you ever seen the Gravity Base Structure for the Hibernia platform (& oil field of the same name)? It was designed to cope with the issue of unhooking rigs and moving them in order to avoid iceberg collisions. It dose this by being so large, heavy, & strong that they just let the bergs hit the rig & get ground into bits! It went so far over budget & became so expensive that the design was never repeated.

    I guess that Troll-A offshore oil rig was influenced by the same construction method used in Beryl-Alpha offshore oil rig (I think it was laid down in the 70's), although the height of B-Alpha was around 128 m and that's just the legs & foundation. Troll-A was like the mega version of B-Alpha.

    According to Wikipedia Beryl-Alpha was indeed the first Condeep oil rig that was built, back in 1975 - and Troll A was the last one (so far) in 1995. A total of 14 were built and I believe all of them are still in operation today. The name Condeep is referring to «concrete deep water structure». The concept was invented by the civil engineer Olav Mo. His company «Offshore Concrete» patented the concept in 1972 and then the company «Norwegian Contractors» further developed the concept from 1973. Due to being cheaper, floating rigs and underwater installations have been preferred since.
