Nice upload. The world's biggest containership flying the French flag. (20,600 TEU's / Dims: 400 X 59 meters).

It seems to me CMA CGM has a fetish about these names...

Anyway, there was a Croatian vessel by the short and sweet name of "SRĐ". Besides having a name made of all consonants, the third letter (pronounced somewhat like a hard "J") was unknown to most maritime people, so she became known as "that three letter ship". There was a problem with the Russian speakers, however, since for them "three letter word" is what "four letter word" is for the English... :)
