What Is Merchant Navy ??!!

By

 A merchant navy or merchant marine or mercantile marine is the fleet of merchant vessels that are registered in a specific country. On merchant vessels, seafarers of various ranks and sometimes members of maritime trade unions are required by the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) to carry Merchant Mariner's Document. 

King George vbestowed the title of the "Merchant Navy" on the British merchant shipping fleets following their service in the First World War; since then a number of other nations have also adopted use of that title or the similar "Merchant Marine". The following is a partial list of the merchant navies or merchant marines of various countries. In many countries the fleet's proper name is simply the capitalized version of the common noun ("Merchant Navy").

Nearest Park from my Home town

  HI GUYS  Let me talk about the nearest park from my home town to you guys. GUNUNG LEDANG Source : Google  Source :Google  Gunung Ledang National Park lies simply inside Johor's fringe with Melaka, around 30 km from the town of Muar. The recreation center encompasses the famous Mount Ophir, presently called Gunung Ledang, which is 1,276 meters high. As per a sign at the passage to the recreation center, Gunung Ledang is Malaysia's 64th most elevated mountain and the 6th generally hard to ascend, be that as it may, as should be obvious from the more point by point list on myMalaysia Mountains page, Ledang is in reality just the 134th most elevated pinnacle, and it doesn't rank in the best 20 tops as far as trouble. SOURCE : GOOGLE  There are different legends relating to the mountain including an otherworldly princess, gold and silver stores, the renowned warrior Hang Tuah and that's only the tip of the iceberg. It is viewed as a profound spot. One of the rumore...
