Is this the name of finnish boat?

In polish "łajba" is a colloquial term for a shitty vessel.

>the biggest boat in chineese history
>vs not the biggest boat in european history
Kill yourself :3
Btw the second one could travel through whole globe and not only to africa and back

>>69096157
Laiva means boat in finnish, laiba is the Izhorian word for boat

It's a loan from germanic word "flauja", the polish word probably has the same root

>>69096418
treasure ships were larger than any european vessel at the time.

that's a stretch, don't you think?

Not really, just dropping the f and the uj > ij the added b/v seems very natural

Come back when you have an active functioning carrier and not just a digital rendering.

I really really like destroying the chinky boats with the european trade ship in Shogun 2 Total War


Just one can take out a small flotilla

>>69096789
I'm quite sure the Queen Elizabeth carrier is currently functional, just not """"war ready""""

>>69096773
I like it.

And it never will be now that Trump is scrapping the F-35 program in favor of Super Duper Hornets. Hope you have carrier-fitted Eurofighters on standby.

One of those 2 ships took only 3 month to sail, over the open ocean, almost half around the world to find a new continent.
The other one took 1 fucking year to Africa along the coastline
