    I learned something interesting about ocean liners in the past: Back when they were mostly powered by coal, the hulls of liners were painted black to hide coal marks and coal dust that would often get onto the ships during refuelling, so the black paint was made to hide this to make them looks more attractive to customers. When oil started being used more often, they kept the black colour for the longest time since it was more or less seen as a common sight for liners to be black, but once cruise ships started taking over along with the white colours being easier to keep them cooler with white reflecting the heat from them, black hull ships for the most part went out of style.

    3:17 - This is a well-known issue. Submarines are basically invisible to passive sonar when moving directly towards that sonar, because the whole body of the submarine blocks the noise of its engines. It can happen regardless of the tiles. And, even with the anechoic tiles, if the submarines were approaching at an angle, their passive sonar would have detected the other's engine noise.

    Tires can be made without carbon black, using silica as a filler. However the non black silica tires were not selling as good as usual black tires. Nowadays most tires companies could manufacture tire without carbon black but still a tiny fraction is added (a few percents) to keep the tire black for customers.

    Cruise ships are not ONLY white because of reflection, there are many pale/lighter colours that could be used that reflect sunlight more than sufficiently for the job. However, when such a ship is cleaned in strong sunlight water evaporates so quickly visible white streaks are left making it a much, much longer job to both clean the ship and clean the streaks from a coloured hull (you don't need to on a white hull, they're invisible). Cleaning a large coloured ship is an exponentially more time intensive task than cleaning a white one. Look at superyachts being cleaned, both white and non-white. The non-white ones take much longer and more staff to clean than white ones of the same size.

    You do realize water is actually clear right? The blue you see in the ocean is the blue of the sky. Hugh... I don't think 'clear' paint would be a good idea at all... LOL But the ocean is lots of colors too depending on the weather, quality of sunlight and how much organic life (mostly algae) in it. Sometime the ocean looks green, grey, white with foam or waves with caps as air mixes into it. Even red sometime if a certain bacteria (or was it also an algae?) that thrives in water with very low oxygen levels. It's where the term 'Red Tide' came from. Same note... that water is lethal to all oxygen breathing creatures, including us, the fish or just about anything else. If our sky were to somehow turn yellow? Don't be surprised if our ocean looks like a sea of piss! lol And it's deep color? Go down deep enough even sunlight stops penetrating the depths of the ocean if you go far enough. So fill up a glass and add some salt. What color is it? That is the actual color of most of our ocean's salt water too, just depends what is in it and in what consecration that can change it's general color but it isn't the water itself.

This they managed quite successfully, and for some reason, the epoxy compound they used to glue them to their submarines seems to be far better; I’ve not yet seen a single photograph of Australian submarines missing any tiles in spite of the fact that their submarines deploy through far more diverse - therefore, far more wearing - maritime environments. To my knowledge, the Australians haven’t shared this secret with the UK. The Irony Strikes Back.
