my stepdad served for over 20 years on tankers and other vessels, one being the M.V Stena Queen a ULCC she had a reinforced deck to cope with rough sea's.

stena queen was built in 1977 and paid off in 2003 work commenced on her demolition mid 2003 and didnt finnish till the end of 2004 normaly a tanker of that size only takes 24 to 30 weeks to smash to bits.

stena queen:

Length: 378M
Width: 67M
Tonnage: 458,000 tonnes

few other ships also have reinforced decks and bows to cope with special dutys.
