The process also includes many traditions anticipated to summon good luck, such as ceremonial by breaking a sacrificial bottle of champagne over the bow as the ship is named loudly and launched to the sea.

There are different types of ship launching but the most widely used ship launching process - and the most awesome - is the side oiled slideway. It is where the slideway outspreads into the water and the ship slides its way (mostly sideways) into the water.
