No its not. Youre not taking into consideration the lower decks beneath the water line.

Hi,

I couldn't agree more! The news ships don't grab my attention at all - they all look the same!!!!

Anyone know if nuclear torpedos have been considered before?

It must have a ridiculously deep draft.

I was kidding ofcourse :-j ...though the nuclear torp proposal issued earlier seems quite reasonable :hmm: :rotfl: :rotfl:

proberbly twin hulled so fireing all your fish at her (WW2 torps) she still stay afloat.

The average passenger liner in WW2 clocked between 18,000 and 32,000 tons.

This gem clocks at 152,000 tons. Now how many torps does it usually take you to sink a liner with the NYGM mod in SHIII? (Took me 3 out of 4 torps on a blind spread that hit the liner and took her down, with standard 1.4 patch).

What do you think Teddy Bar?

Right on the money.
Here's my favourite. It's the 1972 cruise liner "Royal Viking Star". The old lady's still in service under a drifferent name.

Somebody asked about nuclear torpedoes...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_45_torpedo

My guess is the Mk 45 would do the job, although it and the nuclear depth charges were all designed for ASW if I've got my facts straight.
