>>221112 Interesting how these new luxury cruise liners have their propellers mounted in external pods and also have side-mounted propellers to swivel such a huge ship so that she may be docked without needing tug boats. And these ships are gigantic! The new ones being made are heavier than 150,000 tons. The largest warship ever made, the US Nimitz-class nuclear powered aircraft carrier, has a maximum displacement of just 102,000 tons and she has an armored flight deck over a hangar that accommodates up to 90 combat aircraft and crewed by 5,700 sailors, marines, and flight crew. But still dwarfed by these floating hotels. Pic: the supercarrier, USS Nimitz (CVN-68), commissioned in 1975.
