Good tonnage

I was browsing the internet and I saw this...

The first thought in my mind was "Load torpedos 1 to 4"

My first thought was "frakkin commercials" :haha:

Second thought was "AOB?"

Anyhow I cant help but note that that thing looks terribly top heavy.

My thoughts, its bigger than a Nimitz and has half as many lifeboats. Also I could picture that boat in rough seas only once. :timeout:

It wont capsize... If im correct, there are stablizers under the waterline that keep it as stable as possiable.(passenger comfert...)

But sinking that wouldnt be hard, one behind the bulbous, and one in the engine room...:yep:

Now who wants to have some ocean fun!!!

I dont have any idea what the draw of that thing is but it sure does look topheavy.

If they have any sense, it'll have just as good a draught, if not then it'll be a Poiseden remake in the making.
Anyone have any clue what the sounding of the channel she's leaving in that vid is?
